Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito borne encephalitis caused by Flavivirus. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a parasitic disease of the central nervous system caused by Taenia solium. In this report, we describe the clinical profile, imaging findings, and outcome of two children with JE and
Chronic cysticercal meningitis was diagnosed in 6 of 260 cases of neurocysticercosis. Clinical features usually associated with meningitis, such as fever, cranial nerve palsies and nuchal rigidity, were absent and the diagnosis was reached because of persistently abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Cysticercosis has been reported in Muslim countries in workers coming from endemic regions for Taenia solium. For the first time in Mali, the authors report a case of autochtonous neurocysticercosis where Muslim religion is predominent. The patient was a woman student with fever, arthralgia,

BACKGROUND Tuberculoma and neurocysticercosis (NCC) often show similar clinical and neuroimaging features. Differential diagnosis of these 2 diseases is imperative, as tuberculoma is an active infection that requires immediate anti-tubercular therapy (ATT). CASE REPORT We present the case of a
A 42-year-old Peruvian woman residing in Japan for 11 years with a family history of neurocysticercosis presented to our intensive care unit with fever and intense headache.Computed tomography indicated multiple micronodular lesions in the brain parenchyma, and cerebral tuberculoma and
Background. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the commonest cause of childhood acquired epilepsy in developing countries. The use of cysticidal therapy in NCC, except "single lesion NCC," is still debated in view of its doubtful usefulness and potential adverse effects. Methods. Children presenting with
BACKGROUND
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a disorder caused by the Taenia solium larva. It is the most common parasitosis of the central nervous system (CNS). Its distribution is universal, but it is endemic in many developing countries and in the third world. In Spain most patients come from countries
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a significantly neglected tropical disease and, with increasing globalisation, a notable emerging infection in the developed world. We describe a case of ventricular NCC in a 22-year-old Mexican-American woman with a history of seizures, who presented with 2 weeks of
Intracranial tuberculoma and neurocysticercosis (NCC) are the most frequent granulomatous infections in the central nervous system. Here we report a 41-year-old man with disseminated intracranial tuberculoma mimicking NCC. The patient complained of relapsing vertigo and vomiting consistent with
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic disease of the human central nervous system (CNS). However, a diagnosis of NCC may be hard to make if the specific clinical and routine neuroimaging manifestations are lacking, which hinders physicians from considering further A 70-year-old man, who had frequently visited the Southeast Asian countries as a tour conductor, presented convulsion as an initial symptom twenty years ago. A diagnosis of neurocycticercosis was made by a stereotactic brain biopsy. Thereafter, anticonvulsant therapy was initiated, and he continued
A 6-year-old girl presented with history of fever, headache and partial seizures with secondary generalisation. The cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed pleocytosis and elevated proteins. The clinical evaluation and cerebrospinal fluid analysis was suggestive of chronic meningitis. The patient was
