Five cases of cysticercosis are reported. They were diagnosed by microscopic examination of the sub-cutaneous nodules in which T. Solium larvae were found. Results of the treatment by Praziquantel are reported, with regard to the symptomatology of the patients after one year of observation. Necrosis of cysticerci larvae few month after starting the treatment was observed in three cases by microscopical anatomy test.
