An Unusual Cause of Seizure in Clinical Practice

Abstract

Neurocysticercosis (NCC), the infection caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium, is the most common parasitic disease of the nervous system (NS) in humans, where it is the leading cause of late-onset seizures in the endemic areas.
