Abstract

Cardiac involvement in disseminated cysticercosis is an uncommon 
occurrence. We present a case of a 32-year-old male who initially 
presented with diffused headache and seizure disorder and was 
subsequently diagnosed with disseminated cysticercosis affecting the 
central nervous system, cardiac tissue, intraocular structures, and skeletal 
muscles. We report an unusual case of disseminated cysticercosis with 
extensive cardiac involvement treated with medical therapy.
