Cerebral cysticercosis in Norway.
Neurocysticercosis has been rare in Scandinavia. Due to immigration from and travels to endemic areas, we expect the number of such patients to increase. We here report the first four patients from Norway with diagnosed neurocysticercosis. Three are immigrants; one is of Norwegian heritage and was probably infested during short trips to other European countries.
