Cysticercosis headache: an important differential of childhood headache disorder in endemic countries.
Neurocysticercosis is a common pediatric central nervous system (CNS) disease in endemic areas, presenting usually with seizures but has pleomorphic manifestations, including migraine-like secondary headache. We herein report a pediatric patient with tension-type headache as the sole presenting feature of single cysticercus granuloma.
