There is a variant, called visceral larva migrans, that can involve different organs, and among those, the central nervous system. We report a 61 years old male, with a cerebrovascular disease. There were focalizing symptoms, the CAT scan showed multiple ischemic lesions and a peripheral eosinophilia of 12152 cells/mm3 was present. Anti toxocara IgG antibody titers were 1/1000. The patient was treated with albendazole for 14 days.
