A 28-year-old woman presented with signs of relapsing meningeal inflammation 5 months after immigration from Chile. Cerebral cysticercosis was diagnosed with computed tomography (CT) scan, showing signs of intracranial hypertension and cystic lesions, and was confirmed by serological investigation. After treatment with praziquantel all clinical symptoms disappeared. A CT scan obtained 6 months after treatment showed almost complete resolution of the cystic changes in the brain.
