NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS IN CENTRAL INDIA: CLINICAL PROFILE AND TREATMENT OUTCOMES
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic disease of central nervous system, more commonly affecting young persons, in their third decade and being equally common among vegetarians. Most commonly, it presents with seizures. In Indian patients, single small enhancing lesion is the most common presentation. Clinical and radiological response to 4-week therapy with albendazole is quite satisfactory. All cases of young-onset epilepsy in tropical countries should be investigated for neurocysticercosis.
