“…Cognitive and psychiatric dysfunctions associated with the presence of hydrocephalus in NC patients, though poorly researched, have been described in several studies [40][41][42][43] and have been explained in terms of the periventricular white matter tracts destruction and changes in neurotransmitters [44][45][46]. One study carried out at our institute showed that 21.5% of NC patients were originally diagnosed with dementia, which became reversible after 6 months of treatment [47].…”

Neurocysticercosis is an endemic disease in Latin America, Asia and Africa with growing occurrence in industrialized countries due to the increase in migration from low- and middle-income to high-income countries. The most severe clinical presentation is when the parasite is located in the subarachnoid space at the base of the brain (NCSAB). Aside from its clinical presentation, the severity of this form of the disease is due to the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. Although NCSAB frequency is lower than that reported for the parenchymal location of the parasite, its clinical relevance must be emphasized. We provide a critical review of the central epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of this particular form of the disease, which is still associated with unacceptably high rates of morbidity and mortality.

“…To the best of our knowledge, only few cases of patients with neurocysticercosis and mania have been reported,[12] all of them without any further description of the illness course and long-term treatment. In addition, the long-term course of cognitive function of these patients has not yet been investigated.…”

“…Manic episodes in patients with neurocysticercosis have been treated with risperidone and/or carbamazepine[1] or valproic acid[2] for patients with co-existing convulsions. We administrated long-acting injectable olanzapine with beneficial prophylactic effects, lowering the severity of manic and depressive symptoms to a set of milder ones without severe catatonic features such as excitement, stupor, or negativism.…”
