Abstract
We report a case of a 48-year-old woman who had a 4 years history of bilateral blepharospasm. CT-scan showed multiple intracranial calcifications (two of them in the left thalamus) corresponding to neurocysticerosis, and a lacunar infarction in right internal capsule area. To our knowledge this case is the first one reported in the literature of blepharospasm associated with (and perhaps symptomatic of?) neurocysticercosis.
