Abstract (English):	We present the case of a female patient in puerperal period, who in her stay in intensive care unit management for Eclampsia began as incidental finding on brain Magnetic resonance imaging with neurocysticercosis discovers, being treated with albendazole, dexamethasone and Valproic Acid achieving satisfactory progress after 4 days. Among the entities in which a differential diagnosis with eclampsia is established, it is not often relate with neuroinfection , however, in areas endemic for neurocysticercosis , can it become a possibility diagnoses to be considered in areas of high incidence and large flow of population migration from areas of influence.

Abstract (Spanish):	Paciente femenina en el puerperio quirúrgico mediato, a quien en su estancia en unidad de cuidados intensivos obstétrica se le inició manejo para eclampsia, con hallazgo incidental en resonancia magnética cerebral de neurocisticercosis, siendo tratada con Albendazol, Dexametasona y Acido Valproico, y se logró evolución satisfactoria después de 4 días. Entre las entidades con las que se establece un diagnóstico diferencial con la eclampsia no es frecuente relacionarlo con la neuroinfección; sin embargo, en áreas endémicas para neurocisticercosis permite que se convierta en una posibilidad diagnóstica que se debe tener en cuenta en áreas de alta incidencia y de gran flujo de inmigración poblacional desde las áreas de influencia.
