ABSTRACT: We present a case of subarachnoid neurocysticercosis caused by Taenia crassiceps in an elderly woman in Slovenia with no underlying disease or immunosuppressive treatment. The parasite was identified by 12S rDNA PCR and sequencing. Despite prolonged therapy with albendazole and praziquantel, the disease recurred after treatment was discontinued.
