Abstract
An 18-year-old girl from a remote village in Central India presented with rapidly worsening forgetfulness and poor academic performance. A magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple neurocysticerci in the brain at different stages of development. She received antihelmintic therapy along with corticosteroids, resulting in significant improvement in her dementia symptoms. This case highlights the importance of early intervention in rapidly progressive dementia to promptly address treatable causes and reduce morbidity. It further emphasizes the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis as a cause of dementia.
