Abstract Background Cysticercosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease that poses a serious threat to public health. It is widely distributed and has a high incidence rate in China. Reports of disseminated cysticercosis worldwide are rare. This article presents a case of disseminated cysticercosis in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southwestern China. Case presentation The patient, a 46-year-old male belonging to the Miao ethnic group, hailed from a region in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region known for its high incidence of cysticercosis. He had a habit of consuming raw pork and beef. With a history of recurrent consciousness disturbances and limb convulsions for five years, he presented with headaches and dizziness nine days prior. Comprehensive examinations were conducted on the patient. Ultimately, based on epidemiological history, imaging findings, pathogen testing, and pathological results, he was diagnosed with disseminated cysticercosis. Following anthelmintic treatment, the patient was discharged with clear consciousness, free from headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and seizures. The patient is currently under follow-up care. Conclusion It is crucial to enhance public awareness, promote health education, and cultivate good hygiene habits, as these are essential measures in reducing the incidence of cysticercosis. |
