An uncommon manifestation of a common disease.

Neurocysticercosis is the common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. One of the uncommon manifestations and a rare complication is its disseminated form. Human cysticercosis is caused by the spreading of the embryo of Taenia solium in the intestine via the hepatoportal system to different tissues and internal organs of the body. The organs most commonly affected are the subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscles, lungs, brain, eyes, liver, and occasionally the heart, thyroid, and pancreas. We report a case of a 62 year old male, who has been presented, with seizures and subcutaneous nodules on both extremities. After investigation he was diagnosed as a case of disseminated cysticercosis involving brain, subcutaneous tissue, liver, muscles and pericardial fat.
