Cysticercosis, or neurocysticercosis, is the most common parasitic infestation of the central nervous system worldwide.[1] Humans develop cysticercosis when they ingest eggs or larvae of the tapeworm Taenia solium. The eggs and larvae are usually found in fecally-contaminated water and undercooked pork.
