Neurocysticercosis (NC) is one of the most frequent parasitic diseases of the central nervous system. Cysticidal drugs, albendazole and praziquantel, are generally effective when parasites localize in the parenchyma. In contrast, parasites lodged in the subarachnoid basal cisterns are less responsive to treatment.
The clinical and radiological pictures of six Mexican patients non-respondent to cysticidal treatment are presented.
The possible factors involved in the cysticidal non-response are discussed and hints are provided of potentially useful changes to therapeutic protocols.
神经囊虫病（NC）是中枢神经系统最常见的寄生虫病之一。当寄生虫位于实质内时，杀囊虫药物阿苯达唑和吡喹酮通常有效。相比之下，位于蛛网膜下腔基底池的寄生虫对治疗的反应较差。
本文介绍了 6 例墨西哥患者对杀囊虫治疗无反应的临床和影像学图片。
讨论了杀囊虫治疗无反应可能涉及的因素，并提供了治疗方案可能有用的改变提示。
