A rare case of a 40-year-old woman with cerebral cysticercosis is reported. She has lived on the Island of Tokunoshima and has never travelled overseas. She was hospitalized in the hospital of Kagoshima University in 1980. A small cyst in the right temporal lobe, and a calcified area in the left parietal lobe was noticed on CT scan. When she was admitted to our hospital in December 1986, the cyst in the right temporal lobe was larger than it was 6 years before. An operation was performed for the cyst in the right temporal lobe. The cyst was pathologically confirmed as cysticercosis. Postoperatively, immunological reaction of cysticercosis was positive, but X-rays and CT scan of extremities showed no abnormal findings. Cerebral cysticercosis is a rare disease in Japan. CT scan is very useful in the diagnosis of this disease. Multiple cysts and calcified area in the parenchymal region are specific findings on CT scan.
