Abstract
A patient with neurocysticercosis was successfully treated with praziquantel. The clinical improvement was paralleled by the resolution of cerebral lesions as revealed by computerized tomography. This case study demonstrates the success of praziquantel and the effectiveness of low-dose regime in treatment of neurocysticercosis.
