Neurocysticercosis

Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders, 2011
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a major contributor to the burden of seizure disorders and epilepsy in most of the world. NCC encompasses a variety of clinical presentations, depending on number, location, size, evolutionary stage of lesions, and the inflammatory response of the host, with late-onset seizures, headache, and intracranial hypertension the ...

Neurocysticercosis [PDF]

open access: yesNeurohospitalist, The, 2014
Neurocysticercosis is the commonest parasitic disease of the nervous system in humans, and constitutes a major public health problem for most of the developing world. The clinical manifestations of Neurocysticercosis (NCC) largely depend on number of lesions, site, and host immune response against the parasite.

Neurocysticercosis

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 2002
Neurocysticercosis results when the ingested eggs of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, hatch into larval forms that penetrate the gut wall, disseminate hematogenously, and then encyst in the brain. The subsequent symptoms and associated morbidity are variable.

NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1988
Cysticercosis is the commonest parasitic disease of the central nervous system and is endemic not only in developing countries but in industrialized nations with high rates of immigration from endemic areas. Clinical manifestations of neurocysticercosis are non-specific and depend mainly on the number and the topography of the lesions, the host immune ...

Neurocysticercosis: a review

Surgical Neurology, 2005
In North America, the largest number of neurosurgical cases stemming from parasitic infections involves the larval form of Taenia solium, the infectious organism causing neurocysticercosis. This infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is most commonly seen in areas with significant immigrant populations and can often present particular challenges

Pediatric neurocysticercosis

Child's Nervous System, 2018
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is an infestation of the nervous system caused by encysted larvae of Taenia solium. NCC is an important acquired cause of epilepsy and other neurological manifestations especially in endemic areas. NCC in children has pleomorphic manifestations depending on the location, number, viability of the cysts, and host response.

Management of neurocysticercosis

Neurological Research, 2010
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium and is the most common parasitic infection involving the human nervous system. Neurocysticercosis represents one of the most common causes of symptomatic epilepsy in developing countries and is an increasing concern in ...

Imaging of Neurocysticercosis

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2012
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is an infection of the central nervous system by the Taenia solium larvae, and is the most common cause of acquired epilepsy in endemic regions. The natural history of parenchymal NCC lesions can be divided into 4 stages with unique imaging and clinical features.
