3937 autopsies were performed between 1971 and 1993 in the Serviço de Anatomia Patológica of the Hospital de Clínicas of the Fundação de Assistência, Estudo e Pesquisa de Uberlândia, Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, in Minas Gerais, Brazil. At this Service of Pathology are realized all the autopsies of the municipal district of Uberlândia. The analysis of 2862 concluded autopsy reports, of death above the age of one year, disclosed 39 cases (1.4%) of cysticercosis. The age range was 16 to 83 years and 66.6% were males; 82.1% of the patients were from Minas Gerais State, 15.4% were from Goiás State, and in one case (2.5%) the origin was not registered. From these 39 cases, 35 (89.7%) showed central nervous system involvement, isolated or in association to other clinical forms of the disease; in 9 occurred the isolated or associated cardiac form; in 4 the muscular form, isolated or associated, was found; 4 presented the isolated or associated visceral form. In only 7 (17.9%) cases, the cysticercosis was assumed to be the direct cause of the death.
