    Abstract:
    A 42-year-old man of Croatian birth, with long-standing neurological symptoms, was found to have neurocysticercosis (a rare disease in Central Europe), as proven by positive antibody titres in serum and CSF and typical foci by computed tomography (CT). Ventriculo-cisternal drainage (after Torkildsen) controlled the acute symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. Postoperatively the CT revealed new low-density intracerebral foci, which responded to praziquantel.
