Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Neurocysticercosis, a leading cause of acquired epilepsy, can present as disseminated disease with widespread cystic lesions. A 33-year-old male with seizures and weakness showed radiologically confirmed neurocysticercosis. Treatment with steroids, antiparasitics, and antiseizure medication led to improvement. Early diagnosis and public health measures are crucial to reducing the burden.
