Abstract
Cardiac involvement in disseminated cysticercosis is an uncommon occurrence. We present a case of a 32-year-old male who initially presented with diffused headache and seizure disorder and was subsequently diagnosed with disseminated cysticercosis affecting the central nervous system, cardiac tissue, intraocular structures, and skeletal muscles. We report an unusual case of disseminated cysticercosis with extensive cardiac involvement treated with medical therapy.
