| Abstract: | Cysticercosis is the most common parasitic infestation affecting the central nervous system (CNS). It is well recognised worldwide as neurocysticercosis (NCC). Due to the diverse clinical spectrum, NCC poses a complex diagnostic and treatment dilemma. However, new diagnostic imaging and effective antiparasitic drugs have uncovered silent cases of NCC with unusual presentations, reducing the rate of morbidity and mortality. |
