Abstract

A 5-year-old child presented with headache and blindness. Clinically she had blindness and bilateral optic atrophy. Computed tomography scanning of the head revealed multiple enhancing cysticercus cysts in the brain. She recovered from her blindness completely and lesions on the computed tomography scan either disappeared or diminished in size after 3 months of praziquantel therapy.
