摘　　要：Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system.We present a case report of a neurocysticercosis patient with multiple cysts,who presented with new onset generalized tonic-clonic seizures.A 4-cycle treatment of 2 different antihelminthic drugs with dexamethasone and sodium valproate led to clinical improvement without any adverse reactions.The manifestations of neurocysticercosis are protean and the diagnosis should be considered whenever multiple cysts are seen on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.The antihelminthic treatment of neurocysticercosis should be individualized,especially for patients with multiple cysts.
