Neurocysticercosis (NCC) commonly presents as seizures. While Praziquantel and Albendazole are effective treatments for this parasitic brain infection, careful patient selection is advised due to potential side effects.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a significant public health concern, particularly in endemic areas.
  • Understanding the diverse clinical presentations and diagnostic challenges of NCC is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes of neurocysticercosis.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of antiparasitic drugs in NCC management.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 62 neurocysticercosis cases over five years.
  • Clinical assessment, neuroimaging (CT scan), and immunobiologic tests (ELISA) for diagnosis.
  • Evaluation of treatment responses and adverse effects of Praziquantel and Albendazole.

Main Results:

  • Convulsive seizures were the most frequent presentation (57%).
  • Other presentations included raised intracranial pressure, meningoencephalitis, stroke-like onset, and dementia.
  • CT scans and ELISA were key diagnostic tools; Praziquantel and Albendazole showed efficacy but with noted side effects.

Conclusions:

  • Neurocysticercosis presents with varied neurological symptoms, with seizures being most common.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion, neuroimaging, and serological tests.
  • Antiparasitic treatment requires cautious use due to potential adverse effects, necessitating careful case selection.
