title: Solitary intramuscular cysticercosis-A report of two cases.
abstract: Cysticercosis, infestation with the encysted larval stage of Taenia solium, is a major health problem in most countries of Latin America, Asia, and Africa. It involves mainly the central nervous system. Muscle involvement is also seen, although it usually remains asymptomatic. Solitary intramuscular cysticercosis, without involvement of central nervous system is a rare entity. We present two cases of solitary intramuscular cysticercosis, without any systemic or neurologic manifestations.
