a seven years old boy from South India presented with recurrent left motor seizure with secondary generalisation. The computed tomography scan of his brain demonstrated a solitary enhancing cystic lesion with eccentric mural nodule (scolex) in the right frontal region. Based on the epidemiological profile,as well as the clinical and imaging findings,a diagnosis of solitary cerebral cysticercus granuloma was made. He was treated with a short course of anticysticercal treatment (albendazole), prednisolone (after excluding spinal and ocular cysticercosis) and phenytoin. Follow-up imaging at 6 months revealed significant improvement.
