Cysticercosis is the most common and significant parasites borne disease of the nervous system of man and represents a public health problem of immense magnitude. A 65-year-old male patient, worker of Meat Company of Holguin which ingested raw porkmeat and blood, was brought to the Internal Medicine emergency ward, of "Vladimir Ilich Lenin" General University Hospital, Holguin Province, Cuba, complaining of lack of muscle strength of the left side of the body. Active neurocysticercosis was diagnosed by history and confirmed by neuroimaging studies: computed tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance.REFERENCES
