DOI: 10.1007/s11596-019-2132-1
Abstract: Parenchymal neurocysticercosis is the most common form of neurocysticercosis in the central nervous system (CNS), which mainly causes epilepsy and usually responses well to routine medications. However, there are appreciable cases of relapses refractory to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2021.106434
Abstract: Introduction and importance Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the nervous system and it is mostly intracranial. Intradural intramedullary or extramedullary is the rarest involvement of intraspinal cysticercosis. Its isolated involvement is even… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jiph.2016.11.019
Abstract: Racemose neurocysticercosis refers to the 'aberrant proliferating cestode larvae" presenting as multiple, non-capsulated cystic membranes that bud exogenously giving a multilocular cystic appearance resembling a 'bunch of grapes'. These are typically located in non-confining areas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/tropej/fmac032
Abstract: BACKGROUND In newly diagnosed neurocysticercosis (NCC) with seizures, the choice of anti-seizure medication (ASM) seems to be arbitrary due to a lack of comparative studies. Although oxcarbazepine (OXC) is often considered efficacious for focal seizures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/trstmh/trad029
Abstract: BACKGROUND Hydrocephalus is the main complication of extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis (EP-NC). Its symptomatic management relies mainly on the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS). Previous studies have shown that this surgical procedure is associated with a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/trstmh/trz073
Abstract: BACKGROUND In neurocysticercosis, the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium appears to evolve through three phases-active, degenerative and sometimes calcification-before disappearance. The antihelmintic drug, albendazole, has been shown to hasten the resolution of… read more here.
