Cysticercosis presenting as a subdural hematoma.
We describe a patient with a history of cerebral cysticercosis who presented with signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure; CT showed what seemed to be a subdural hematoma. At operation, the "hematoma" proved to be a subdural collection of multiple cysticercal cysts. This is the first report of this complication.
