Neurocysticercosis is a leading cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide and endemic in underdeveloped and developing regions. As a result of increased migration and traveling, cases of neurocysticercosis reach Europe more frequently. Neurological symptoms are multifarious and often nonspecific, so that neurocysticercosis poses a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of a patient in whom the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis was achieved quickly via the patient's history, neuroimaging and serology.
