Abstract :
Cysticercosis is a parasitic disease with varied presentations depending on the involvement of the part of the body. Disseminated cysticercosis is a rare form of cysticercosis in which the cysticerci spread all through the body. We report a case of a 4–year–old girl with a non–specific manifestation of low–grade fever, lower limb weakness and associated meningeal signs.
