Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a major contributor to the burden of seizure disorders and epilepsy in most of the world. NCC encompasses a variety of clinical presentations, depending on number, location, size, evolutionary stage of lesions, and the inflammatory response of the host, with late-onset seizures, headache, and intracranial hypertension the most frequent manifestations. Diagnosis and therapy depend on the type of NCC, considering its location and stage of the lesions. Medical therapy for NCC should be oriented to obtain appropriate symptom control and then use of antiparasitic agents considered. Antiparasitic treatment is of benefit in most cases of viable and degenerating NCC.
神经囊虫病（NCC）是世界上大多数地区导致癫痫发作障碍和癫痫负担的主要原因。NCC 有多种临床表现，取决于病变的数量、位置、大小、病变的进化阶段以及宿主的炎症反应，最常见的表现为迟发性发作、头痛和颅内高压。诊断和治疗取决于 NCC 的类型，考虑到其位置和病变阶段。NCC 的药物治疗应着眼于获得适当的症状控制，然后使用被认为是驱虫剂。在大多数有活力和退化的 NCC 病例中，驱虫治疗是有益的。
