Es un problema común en muchos países latinoamericanos, asiáticos y africanos; en áreas endémicas, es considerada la principal etiología de las epilepsias de inicio tardío. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 39 años de edad, de sexo masculino, con historia de alteraciones del comportamiento y varias crisis convulsivas desde hacía un año atrás. Por este motivo fue trasladado al Hospital Militar Principal de Luanda e ingresado en el Servicio de Psiquiatría con diagnóstico presuntivo de neurosis histérica. Al mes de su egreso fue remitido nuevamente esta vez en el Servicio de Neurología del propio hospital. Se le realizó examen físico, se le indicaron complementarios y se le realizó rayos X de tórax y tomografía que mostraron imágenes sugestivas de neurocisticercosis activa. Se le indicó tratamiento farmacológico y fisioterapia. Lugo de ochenta días el paciente fue egresado, consciente, orientado, asintomático. El objetivo de la presentación es llamar la atención a especialistas que cumplen colaboración en diferentes partes del mundo al ser una enfermedad extremadamente rara en Cuba y a la que se deben enfrentar con cierta frecuencia en otras latitudes.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by the accidental ingestion of eggs of Taenia Solium, constituting the most frequent parasitosis of the system itself. It is a common problem in many Latin American, Asian and African countries; in endemic areas, it is considered the main etiology of late-onset epilepsies. The case of a 39-year-old male patient with a history of behavioral disorders and several seizures for a year is presented. For this reason he was transferred to the Main Military Hospital of Luanda and admitted to the Psychiatry Service with a presumptive diagnosis of hysterical neurosis. A month after his discharge, he was referred again this time to the Neurology Service of the hospital itself. A physical examination was performed, supplementary tests were indicated, and a chest X-ray and tomography were performed, which showed images suggestive of active neurocysticercosis. Pharmacological treatment and physiotherapy were indicated. After eighty days, the patient was discharged, conscious, oriented, and asymptomatic. The objective of the presentation is to draw the attention of specialists who collaborate in different parts of the world as it is an extremely rare disease in Cuba and which they must face with certain frequency in other latitudes.]]></p></abstract>
