Objective. To determine the contribution of neurocysticercosis as a cause for active epilepsy and to establish Neurocysticercosis as major definable risk of epilepsy in our setup. Methods. We conducted a door-to-door survey of 2,209 individuals of Bhore Pind and Bhore Kullian villages in Chattah zone of district Jammu (Jumma and Kashmir, Northwest India) to identify patients with symptomatic epilepsy. Patients with active epilepsy were investigated with neuroimaging techniques to establish diagnosis of NCC (neurocysticercosis). Results. Among 25 patients with epilepsy 10(40%) had CT/MR evidence of past or recent NCC infection. This gave us the point prevalence of 4.5/1000 for Neurocysticercosis in our study population. Interpretation. The study shows a high prevalence of NCC accounting for symptomatic epilepsy in our part of India.
目的。确定神经囊尾蚴病作为活动性癫痫病因的作用，并在我们的研究中确立神经囊尾蚴病为癫痫的主要可明确风险因素。方法。我们对查谟地区（印度西北部查谟和克什米尔）查塔区的博尔平德村和博尔库利安村的2209人进行了挨家挨户的调查，以识别症状性癫痫患者。对活动性癫痫患者采用神经影像学技术进行检查，以确诊神经囊尾蚴病（NCC）。结果。在25例癫痫患者中，10例（40%）有既往或近期NCC感染的CT/MR证据。这使我们研究人群中神经囊尾蚴病的点患病率为4.5/1000。解读。该研究表明，在印度我们所在地区，NCC导致症状性癫痫的患病率很高。
