ABSTRACT
Toxocariasis has a broad clinical spectrum, from asymptomatic to systemic illness. However, cerebral toxocariasis has rarely been reported. We experienced a patient who presented with seizure and memory disturbance after treatment for visceral larva migrans of toxocariasis. Laboratory findings included eosinophilia, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis, and positive results for toxocariasis in the serum and CSF. The patient showed marked improvement after combined albendazole and steroid treatment. This case indicates that cerebral toxocariasis is an unusual cause of cognitive dysfunction and seizure.
