Abstract
Neurocysticercosis (NCC), the infection caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium, is the most common parasitic disease of the nervous system (NS) in humans, where it is the leading cause of late-onset seizures in the endemic areas. Fortunately it is still rare in Bangladesh due to some religious binding in eating pork. Here we present a young man who came to us with Neurocysticercosis as the cause of recurrent seizure and various neurological manifestations.
