| Resumo: | Cysticercosis is the infection by the larval stage of Taenia solium. This disease can affect multiple human organs, most commonly the central nervous system, subcutaneous tissue, and muscles. When the myocardium is involved, the patient is usually free of symptoms, but we report a case of cardiac cysticercosis as a cause of myocardial infarction. |
