AB  - Solitary cysticercus granuloma (SCG) is the most common form of neurocysticercosis in India and usually presents with seizures. Pure motor monoparesis (PMM) due to cerebral cysticercus lesions has been rarely reported and it has not been seen with SCG. We describe a young girl with SCG who presented with PMM without any other neurological manifestations. The lesion was located in the Penfield homunculus area of the opposite leg. The patient was treated with steroids and antihelminthic drugs. She responded well to the treatment.
