Abstract
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection in the brain. Speech involvement is rare in the case of neurocysticercosis. Here we discuss a 60-year-old man with multiple brain cysticercosis who had Broca’s aphasia and responded well to treatment with corticosteroids and albendazole. Lesions affecting the anterior perisylvian speech region cause Broca’s aphasia, which was evident on brain imaging.
