Case study 54 | Brain Worms - Neurocysticercosis | Presented by Dr. Betsy Grunch

Case study 54 - Neurocysticercosis Neurocysticercosis is a preventable parasitic infection caused by larval cysts (enclosed sacs containing the immature stage of a parasite) of the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium). The larval cysts can infect various parts of the body causing a condition known as cysticercosis. Larval cysts in the brain cause a form of cysticercosis called neurocysticercosis which can lead to seizures. Neurocysticercosis, which affects the brain and is the most severe form of the disease, can be fatal.
