Neurocysticercosis is the infection of the CNS and its meninge coverings by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. This tapeworm is endemic in most low-income countries where pigs are raised, and continues to be one of the most important

Porcine cysticercosis, human taeniasis, and (neuro)cysticercosis are endemic in many low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where they present a significant health burden to affected communities. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is one of the leading causes

Human cysticercosis is caused by ingestion of T. solium eggs from taenia carriers. Neurocysticercosis (NCC), defined as the infection of the CNS and the meninges by the larval stage of Taenia solium, is the most common helminthic infection of the CNS

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is an important cause of neurological disease worldwide, including imported cases in nonendemic countries. Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to update information on diagnosis, management, and prevention of neurocysticercosis.

Neurocysticercosis, a major cause of acquired seizures and epiilepsy, is caused by infection with the larval cystic form of the tapeworm, Taenia solium. CT and MRI imaging, development of sensitive and specific diagnostic methods, and discovery of relatively

Neurocysticercosis, due to the localization of Taenia solium larvae in the Central Nervous System, is a neglected tropical disease still endemic in much of Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The therapeutic management of NC has gradually improved
