Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1998 Summary Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. Varied clinical manifestations occur, due to deposition of larvae of the parasite Taenia solium in cerebral parenchyma, meninges, spinal cord, muscles, eyes and skin.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 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.

Brain Pathology, 1997 Cysticercosis is an infection caused by Taenia solium larvae (cysticerci). When the cysticercus is lodged in the central nervous system (CNS), the disease is known as neurocysticercosis (NCC). NCC is the most frequent and most widely disseminated human neuroparasitosis.

Neuropediatrics, 2006 Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common cause of acquired epilepsy in developing countries. It can present variably depending on the location and stage of cysts in the nervous system, and the host immune response. The most common presentation of parenchymal NCC is with seizures that are usually focal and brief; status epilepticus occurs in some ...

Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, 2010 Abstract Neurocysticercosis is a significant public health issue within the United States. Although cysticercosis was once thought to have been eradicated in the United States, the number of documented cases is rising and immigrants from endemic areas are at the highest risk for acquiring and developing this disease.

Volumetric MRI study of the brain in patients with neurocysticercosis and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. [PDF]
Epileptic DisordAbstract Objective Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a common parasitic infection of the central nervous system and a known cause of focal epilepsy. Its potential role in triggering or contributing to mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE‐HS) is suggested, but the impact on brain volumetry remains unclear.

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2020 Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is one of the common parasitic central nervous system (CNS) infections. Improperly cooked pork and eggs of the tapeworm Taenia solium, entering the body through the feco-oral route, are the common sources of its infection. Affected person may remain asymptomatic for long periods and can present with a variety of neurological ...
