Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by ingesting eggs from the Taenia solium tapeworm, which can lead to cyst formation in the brain and central nervous system. Symptoms include seizures, headaches, and vision changes. It is diagnosed through imaging tests, stool and blood tests, and biopsy. Treatment involves antiparasitic medications like albendazole and praziquantel to reduce cysts and seizures, along with corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. Outcomes depend on the location, size, and number of cysts present and the body's immune response.
