Abstract
Abstract Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a parasitic infection that affects the central nervous system and is caused by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. There are two forms in the brain: parenchymal and extra-parenchymal, also known as racemose. The clinical manifestation of cysticercosis cysts is quite variable and varies significantly from one patient to another. Diagnosing NCC clinically is difficult; however, the introduction of advanced brain imaging techniques has improved the accuracy of diagnosis. The primary focus of this case study was to re-emphasize its multitude of manifestations and include a discussion of the diagnostic modalities and treatment options.
