Abstract

Headache as clinical presentation of neurocysticercosis Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. Its frequency in our country has increased due to migratory movements. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman from Ecuador, with a history of recurrent headache, presented to the Emergency Department with daily hemicranial headache that does not respond to common analgesics. The presumptive diagnosis is determined in the emergency room after a correct anamnesis and laboratory tests, being confirmed in the Neurology Department.
