| Summary: | Cysticercosis is caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium. The authors describe a case of a 30-year-old male patient that presented in the emergency room with a generalized seizure. A CT scan showed multiple intraparenchymal micronodular calcifications, which could be nonviable calcified lesions of cysticercosis. Besides that, it was also present a cystic image compatible with a viable cysticercus in vesicular phase. This case shows us a less common but possible cause of seizures. By reminding it and its neuroimaging aspects we could do more accurate diagnostics. |
