1. There can be little doubt that the patient's neurological illness was the result of cerebral cysticercosis. While the lesions were diffuse and multiple, her left hemichorea could be explained by the cysts in, and adjacent to, the head of the right caudate nucleus. Some cases of chorea have been attributed to the neoplastic' and vascular2 lesions in the contralateral caudate nucleus, putamen and other basal ganglia. Although cerebral cysticercosis has very protean manifestations, reviews of the field,34 and a literature search retrospective to 1966, have yielded no reference to it as a cause of chorea. Greater availability of CT scanning may reveal this association more frequently in the Third World, where cerebral cysticercosis is a major cause of neurological illness;patient
