Doctors perplexed over larvae in brain of Australian
A 'cyst' was removed from a woman experiencing headaches and blurred vision: case study
Doctors are perplexed at how a young Melbourne woman ended up with pork tapeworm larvae in her brain, despite never having left Australia and having little contact with animals.
The 25-year-old barista was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis (NCC), a central nervous system infection with the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium.
