摘要：
Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the CNS worldwide and the most common cause of seizures and epilepsy in persons from developing countries. We report an unusual case of neurocysticercosis in a previously healthy woman. The infection was characterized by a giant subarachnoid cyst and complicated by uncal herniation and stroke.
