Doctors in Melbourne were shocked by their discovery – it is the first time such a case has been recorded in Australia.
A parasitic disease usually only found in developing countries has been found in a Melbourne woman who has never been outside of the country.
The 25-year-old woman was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis, a disease that causes symptoms such as seizures, headaches, blindness and dementia.
The woman had experienced regular headaches two or three times a month with visual symptoms since 18 years of age, according to a case report published in The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
