Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Neurocysticercosis is an unusual cause of seizure in the New Zealand setting. We report on the presentation of a 12-year-old Indian boy, who was found to have neurocysticercosis after presenting with a generalized seizure. Treatmeant of neurocysticercosis is controversial, and the evidence from the literature regarding treatment with anthelmintic (or cysticydal) medication is reviewed. Other treatment measures including anticonvulsant therapy and corticosteroids is also discussed. |
