Résumé

Cysticercosis is an infection resulting from the larval form of the pig tapeworm, Taenia solium. The subcutaneous localizations are frequent and can have serious consequences such as neurological attacks. We report six cases among whom five men and a woman, in order to point out the severity of the disease and its possible dissemination. The patients' age was ranging from 25 to 57 years old. Three of them had neurological complications as convulsions and headaches. The nodules were painful in one case. We recommend sanitary education to eradicate the affection and to sensitize patients in order to consult physicians at early stage.
