VARIED MANIFESTATIONS OF NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN BANGALORE RURAL

Abstract

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval form of Taenia solium. It remains endemic in many parts of rural India due to poor sanitation, open defecation, and traditional pig-rearing practices. NCC presents with a broad spectrum of neurological manifestations, posing diagnostic and therapeutic  challenges. This study aimed to characterize the varied clinical presentations of NCC and correlate neuroimaging findings with disease manifestations.
