ABSTRACT
Human toxocariasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati larvae. Human infection is usually an outcome of accidental ingestion of the embryonated eggs, and the involvement of central nervous system is rare. We report a case of cerebral infarction which was caused by toxocariasis in adult, who had headache, abdominal pain and right side weakness. He had only a history of ingestion of raw liver of deer.
