Two cases of neurocysticercosis which occurred in migrant women are reported. This disease, produced from the larval form of the pig tapeworm, Taenia solium, is not endemic in Australia. It is prevalent in Latin America, India, parts of Africa and eastern Europe and some Mediterranean areas. Where the possibility of exposure to this parasite exists, neurocysticercosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of late-onset epilepsy, hydrocephalus, focal fits, progressive dementia, and in spinal cord tumours.
报告了两例发生在移民女性中的神经囊尾蚴病病例。这种由猪带绦虫幼虫形态引起的疾病在澳大利亚并非地方病。它在拉丁美洲、印度、非洲部分地区、东欧以及一些地中海地区流行。在存在接触这种寄生虫可能性的地方，在迟发性癫痫、脑积水、局灶性癫痫发作、进行性痴呆以及脊髓肿瘤的鉴别诊断中应考虑神经囊尾蚴病。
