Taenia crassiceps injection into the subarachnoid space of rats simulates radiological and morphological features of racemose neurocysticercosis

We appreciate Dr. Del Brutto’s comments concerning our article entitled “Axonal swellings and spheroids: a new insight into the pathology of neurocysticercosis (NCC)” 5. Axonal swellings have only recently been described ...
Epilepsy surgery and neurocysticercosis: Assessing the role of the cysticercotic lesion in medically-refractory epilepsy
(Elsevier, 2017)
There is increasing evidence of the existence of refractoriness to treatment with antiepileptic medications in those with NCC-related epilepsy. We performed a systematic review with the objective to determine the role of ...
