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.

Background: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a serious public health problem in several developing countries, including those in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. NCC is considered to be the main cause of late-onset epilepsy in endemic areas. Objective: This

Guidelines for the clinical management of patients with neurocysticercosis (NCC) were prepared by a panel of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH). The guidelines are intended

In the first section, the panel summarizes background information relevant to the topic. In the second section, the panel poses questions regarding the diagnosis and treatment of neurocysticercosis (NCC), evaluates applicable clinical trial and observational
