Cysticercosis result in human, after ingestion of the eggs of Taenia soleum usually after a close contact with a tapeworm carrier. The usual sites for the development of cyscticerci are the central nervous system (neurocysticercosis – NCC), subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and the eye. Antiparasitic treatment associated exacerbation of the inflammatory response in brain, eye or subcutaneous tissue is well known. Here we are reporting a case of NCC who developed severe swelling of lower limbs following albendazole therapy. She was treated with high dose of steroid with subsequent resolution of swelling. Therefore one must be vigilant about this rare complication.
