ABSTRACT Disseminated cysticercosis is an uncommon presentation of a common disease.Asymptomatic disseminated cysticercosis is rarely reported in literature.Here, we are reporting a case of asymptomatic disseminated cysticercosis incidentally diagnosed in a patient of low backache. Magnetic resonance imaging of lumbosacral spine and neuroimaging done subsequently during the course of evaluation revealeddiffuse cysticercosis involving abdominal, paraspinal, pelvic and gluteal muscles along with neurocysticercosis.Such a disseminated cysticercosis was diagnosed incidentally in this patient of low backache with right sciatica and radiculopathy atL5-S1 prolapsed intervertebral disc and was subsequently managed byL5-S1 interlaminar fenestration and discectomy.
