Concurrent asymptomatic inflammatory aneurysm and ischemic stroke due to cysticercal arteritis

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is recognized as an important public health problem in developing countries. Cysticercal arteritis (CA) may cause endothelial disruption, edema, thrombosis, and the formation of fusiform aneurysms due to a weakening of the vessel walls . Here, we report a case with concurrent asymptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) inflammatory aneurysm and contralateral ischemic stroke due to CA.
