A patient who developed a cerebral infarct during the course of praziquantel therapy for neurocysticercosis is described. Destruction of a large number of cysts by praziquantel followed by a massive inflammatory response was likely to have precipitated the event. Caution on the use of this drug in patients with heavy parasite loads is emphasized.
