Abstract: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval stage of *Taenia solium*. It is a significant public health issue in endemic regions due to its association with poor sanitation and hygiene practices. This condition presents a diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from seizures and headaches to cognitive deficits and hydrocephalus, influenced by the location and stage of cysticerci. Diagnosis is established through imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans, supported by serological and CSF analyses. Treatment involves a combination of antiparasitic agents, corticosteroids to manage inflammation, and....
