Neurocysticercosis cleared by drugs in 1997. Till 2008 no medical course was advised. In mid 2008 got sever attack, fits, 4m this started taking tegrital 200 cr 1-1 since 2009. Without any advise discontinued 4m last 3 years as I was feeling some laziness. Now on 26th got severe fit with tongue bite. After 3 days of hospitalization now instead tegrital cr 200 levipil 500 1-1 is suggested. So want your opinion on this. In the starting I was treated by the famous neurologist.

The first step in getting correct treatment is to get a correct diagnosis. Differential diagnosis list for Neurocysticercosis may include: Epilepsy bacterial meningitis primary cancer metastatic cancer tuberculoma etc. Often, the decision of whether or not to treat neurocysticercosis is based upon the number of lesions found in the brain and the symptoms you have. When only one lesion is found, often treatment is not given. If you have more than one lesion, specific anti-parasitic treatment is generally recommended. If the brain lesion is considered calcified (this means that a hard shell has formed around the tapeworm larvae), the cysticerci is considered dead and specific anti-parasitic treatment is not beneficial.
