Abstract
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a prevalent parasitic infection of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by Taenia solium larvae. It is commonly found in developing countries with a high incidence of both NCC and CNS tuberculosis. In cases where patients have a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, the lesions arising from NCC can be misdiagnosed as tuberculomas. Furthermore, when papilledema (a sign of raised intracranial pressure) is present, CNS tuberculosis is often considered a more probable diagnosis compared to NCC. While NCC is common, disseminated cysticercosis is rare. In this article, we present a case of diffuse neurocysticercosis and discuss relevant management approaches.
