| Description |
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a parasitic infection involving the infiltration of Taenia solium in the intestine and hematogenous spread to the central nervous system. NCC commonly presents with seizure-like activity, but may manifest with headaches and intracranial hypertension. 1 Historically junctional scotomas have been associated with aneurysms or pituitary neoplasms. 2 3 We present a rare case of NCC presenting as a junctional scotoma. |
