Abstract

Cerebral cysticercosis is becoming more common in Australia as the immigrant population from areas of endemic disease increases. The case reported exemplifies the common presentation of this interesting infestation. Treatment consists primarily of Praziquantel with or without steroids and anti‐seizure medication if indicated. Follow‐up is by both clinical and radiological assessment.
