Abstract
Neurocysticercosis has been rare in Scandinavia. Due to immigration fr om and travels to endemic areas, we expect the number of such patients to increase. We here report the first four patients from Norway with diagnosed neurocysticercosis. Three are immigrants; one is of Norwegia n heritage and was probably infested during short trips to other Europ ean countries.
