Soon, hospital staff admitted it and began to study it: ultrasound exams and magnetic resonance. After obtaining the results, the specialists discovered that the patient's cerebral cortex and brainstem were filled with larvae..

This parasitic disease is known as neurocysticercosis and this occurs when a person ingests microscopic eggs from a pork tapeworm (a worm), which affects the muscle tissue.

Once they enter the brain, these parasites begin to spread and those who are infected can remain for a long time without symptoms.

This condition is treatable with drugsbut, in view of the progress of this disease, it was impossible to provide the necessary antiparasitic drugs. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and other medications to prevent convulsions.
