Late-onset eosinophilic chronic meningitis occurring 30 years after Taenia solium infestation in a white Caucasian woman

SummaryUnlike solitary parenchymal cysts, chronic meningitis is unusual in patients with neurocysticercosis and may poorly respond to treatment. We report the case of neurocysticercosis characterized by severe headache and chronic eosinophilic meningitis occurring 30 years after infestation with Taenia solium. The patient showed considerable improvement following treatment with albendazole and prednisone.
