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, 2010Neurocysticercosis 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 ...

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.

Neurocysticercosis is the most common helminth infection of nervous system in humans caused by the encysted larvae of Taenia solium. It is a major cause of epilepsy in tropical areas and the most common cause of focal-onset seizures in North Indian children.

Practical Neurology, 2014
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic neurological infection caused by the ingestion of larvae from the adult tapeworm Taenia solium. We describe a man who presented with generalised tonic-clonic seizures. He had been previously diagnosed with epilepsy in Malawi, where he had emigrated from 2 years before this episode.

Factors Associated With Cysticidal Treatment Response in Extraparenchymal Neurocysticercosis
Journal of clinical pharmacology, 2018Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis is the most severe form of cysticercosis, and response to treatment is suboptimal. We sought to determine how demographic and clinical characteristics and albendazole sulfoxide concentrations were related to cysticidal

Endoscopic third-ventriculostomy followed by removal of multiple cisternal cysts was performed in a patient with hydrocephalus secondary to cisternal cysticercosis. Adjuvant pharmacological therapy with cystocidal drugs and steroids, was administered in the postoperative period.

Neurocysticercosis produces a variety of neurologic syndromes resulting from the cysticerci infestation of the central nervous system by the larvae of Taenia solium. Because of increased immigration to the United States from endemic areas, the incidence of neurocysticercosis has increased, especially in California, Texas, Arizona, and other ...
