Popis: Disseminated cysticercosis (DCC) is the widespread dissemination of cysticercus cellulosae (larva of pork tapeworm). CNS complications of DCC include encephalitis, obstructive hydrocephalus, raised intracranial pressure, ischemic infarctions, hemorrhage, and rarely subarachnoid hemorrhage. Here, we report a case of young male who developed corpus callosal infarction following cysticercal angitis.
