An @entity64 related to @entity6583 observed in the Paris neighbourhood is reported. A 32-year-old @entity1 originating from Cape Verde presented a left @entity64 . CT scan showed multiple areas of calcifications and a left capsulostriatal lucency. @entity2287 enhanced MRI disclosed significant abnormalities surrounding the left middle cerebral artery in the sylvian fissure. The titers of anticysticercian antibodies were highly positive in the serum and the @entity2841 . The investigations in search of another cause of the @entity64 were negative. The outcome was good after a treatment associating @entity3753 and @entity1667 . The increasingly recognized links between @entity6583 and @entity64 , especially in endemic areas are reviewed. @entity6583 is an exceptional cause of @entity64 in non endemic areas. In non-endemic areas, this cause of @entity64 has to be systematically suspected in @entity1 coming from endemic areas. The diagnosis is based upon MRI, CT scanner and serologic tests. Treatment requires anti-parasitic drugs. The role of the @entity288 is discussed.
