Volumetric MRI study of the brain in patients with neurocysticercosis and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract 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.
