ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La cisticercosis es una infección parasitaria, prevalente principalmente en países en vía de desarrollo, con una seroprevalencia en Colombia de 8,6 % (1). Generalmente, el diagnóstico se realiza en el contexto de una de sus formas más graves, la neurocisticercosis, que a su vez presenta un espectro grande de manifestaciones que van desde crisis epilépticas hasta accidentes cerebrovasculares agudos. Este reporte describe el caso atípico de una mujer joven con infarto cerebral secundario a neurocisticercosis, complicación que representa un reto clínico importante y que se debe considerar en el diagnóstico diferencial.


SUMMARY Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection prevalent mainly in developing countries, with a seroprevalence in Colombia of 8.6 %. Diagnosis is usually made in the context of one of its most serious forms, neurocysticercosis, which in turn has a large spectrum of manifestations ranging from epileptic seizures to acute cerebrovascular accidents. This report describes the atypical case of a young woman with cerebral infarction secondary to neurocysticercosis, a complication that represents an important clinical challenge and that should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis.
