Neurocysticercosis, a complication of Taeniasis solium, is a difficult condition to diagnose. In developing countries that are resource constrained Neurocysticercosis cases either go undetected or are diagnosed late in health facilities that have Computer Tomography scan. A case report on Neurocysticercosis in a female patient from Zambia is presented here. The role of immunodiagnosis in Neurocysticercosis is also reviewed briefly.
