Abstract
Intramedullary cysticercosis is rare. Clinical and neuroimaging findings may resemble those of other intramedullary lesions, but the visualization of the scolex or the incidental discovery of intracranial lesions provide helpful diagnostic clues. Prognosis is benign provided the correct diagnosis is suspected and patients receive prompt therapy.
