“…Stroke affecting brain stem, have influence on both side of the body and the subject may be unable to talk or accomplish any development beneath the neck, whereas this research subject having had multiple cortical atrophy had much preserved cognitive as well physical independence relevant to his daily activities 40 . Having left side hemiparesis have shown better functional recovery recorded by in terms of balance, gait which was contradicted by Another finding who have with right hemiparesis with better functional recovery; as the functional recovery could be related to culture, site of hemiparesis, type of patient [24][25][26] . Being male, having bilateral stroke, findings of this research study need for future research were supported by Alquantani et al 2013 having recorded male preponderance for stroke 41 ; Further recommended need to evaluate the differences in functional recovery post stroke therapy among unilateral and bilateral stroke subjects and he acknowledges lack of health care evidences in this aspect of bilateral stroke.…”

An increasing longevity globally were recorded associated health complications, among geriatric population like falls, stroke, and were under researched. Health care records of subjects above 80 years and bilateral stroke with their prevalence, causes functional recovery were less reported. Hence this clinical presentation with evidenced strives to analyse unaddressed bilateral stroke with its prevalence, risk factors, causes along with functional pattern of recovery gets more significant. As an increasing longevity octogenarian subjects likely to develop bilateral stroke are more in coming years. Bilateral stroke were found to diminish quality of life and increase the level of dependency especially among geriatric subjects. Equally they were linked with longer hospitalization and higher mortality. Aims and objectives of this research were to analyse causes, prognosis and functional recovery among bilateral stroke. This research analysis for 3 years on an octogenarian subject who was obese, hypertensive, diabetic, hyperlipidemia. This longitudinal research were from June 2018 - May 2021. With family support, proper medical intervention, regular physiotherapy functional independence and cognition can be promoted even at the age of 90 years were key outcome, Findings of this research can be used to identify causes, treat them towards prevention and how to functionally accelerate recovery of bilateral stroke subjects in years to come. Also every effort should be driven positively irrespective of age, major thrust of this research.

“…The patient had recurrent cognitive impairment and associated neuropsychiatric manifestations triggered by recurrent neurocysticercosis. 69 Some reports have shown favorable outcomes in patients with cognitive impairment and neurocysticercosis after appropriate therapy. 52 , 79 On a neuropathological level, multiple factors functioning alone or in conjunction including local inflammatory (parasitic) reactions, vascular lesions, immune-mediated reactions, or secondary epilepsy induced by neurocysticercosis, as effects of anti-epileptic drugs, may trigger cognitive impairment.…”

Neurocysticercosis, the most common type of neuroparasitosis, is a condition in which the central nervous system (CNS) is infested with the pork tapeworm Taenia solium cysticercosis' larvae. Neurocysticercosis is the most widespread parasitic CNS disease worldwide, affecting more than 50 million individuals. As neurocysticercosis is prevalent in developing countries, the growing number of migrants and travelers increases prevalence in developed countries. Possible neuropsychiatric manifestations are depression, cognitive dysfunction, dementia, and visual hallucinations. Depending on the cysts' location in the CNS, focal neurology or psychiatric symptoms manifest. The diagnosis of neurocysticercosis is based on neuroimaging and serology. The correlation between specific symptoms and the cyst's location might help better understand psychiatric disorders' pathophysiology. Nonetheless, the exact prevalence of neurocysticercosis is seldom reported in patients with psychiatric disorders, which may be due to the lack of imaging availability in developing countries with a high prevalence.

“…La neurocisticercosis puede cursar de forma asintomática hasta en el 80% de los casos, y en las formas sintomáticas (20%) las manifestaciones clínicas suelen ser inespecíficas. Puede presentar dos formas clínicas: la intraparenquimatosa asociada a convulsiones y la extraparenquimatosa asociada a hipertensión intracraneal [2,3]. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 40 años, procedente de Bolivia, que reside en España desde hace 15 años.…”
