Isolated superior division oculomotor palsy in neurocysticercosis: a rare presentation.

摘要

Cysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease involving the CNS. It is caused by infestation of the larval form of Taenia solium, with humans being the primary host. Neurocysticercosis commonly presents with seizures, raised intracranial tension and dementia. The unusual location of the cysts may result in uncommon manifestations mimicking a host of neurological disorders.
