Abstract
We report two cases of brainstem cysticercotic ependymitis presenting with rigid-akinetic syndrome. There was a good response to levodopa therapy as well as cysticidal therapy with albendazole, allowing later reduction of levodopa dosage in one patient and complete withdrawal in the other.
