In Central nervous system (CNS), neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic infection that affects the CNS. Cysticidal drugs are used for its treatment, and they can precipitate an inflammatory response, which results in worsening of symptoms. We report 2 cases of extensive
neurocysticercosis that show diffuse white matter edema that involves both cerebral hemispheres. Of the 2 patients, one showed disseminated cysticercosis that involved the tongue, scalp muscles, and skeletal muscles of the extremities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
