RESUMEN
La neurocisticercosis es una enfermedad infecciosa parasitaria rara en nuestro medio producida por la Taenia solium. En los últimos años, la incidencia de la neurocisticercosis ha sufrido un repunte por el aumento de inmigrantes procedentes de países endémicos. Los cisticercos presentan una especial predisposición para afectar al sistema nervioso central con la formación de nódulos quísticos que provocan inflamación de las zonas adyacentes pudiendo producir crisis comiciales. Presentamos el caso de una paciente puérpera de 3 días con un episodio de crisis comicial acompañada de fiebre. Se diagnostica por resonancia magnética nuclear cerebral de neurocisticercosis (AU)
