Neurocysticercosis is a serious public health problem in several countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. The objective of the present study is to present autopsy findings of neurocysticercosis in the Pathology Division of the University Hospital, Medical School of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, from 1992 to 1997. Neurocysticercosis was detected in 38 (1.5%) of 2522 autopsies. In twenty two (57.9%) of these, the diagnosis was made post-mortem, while 16 (42.1%) had a previous diagnosis of cysticercosis based on laboratory and imaging studies. Reviewing the medical records, we found that 21 patients (55.2%) were neurologically asymptomatic, while the various clinical manifestations in the others were in accordance with the literature. The high frequency of asymptomatic individuals detected only post-mortem indicates the importance of autopsies as an additional source of data to consolidate the compulsory notification of cysticercosis. Considering the results of this study, the new coefficient of prevalence of cysticercosis in Ribeirão Preto is 67 cases/100,000 inhabitants.
