A Case of Neurocysticercosis in Diyarbakir

Neurocysticercosis is a major parasitic disease of the central nervous system, affecting endemic areas worldwide. It spreads through intermediary hosts, pigs and eventually men to his definitive host: humans. It causes lesions in the CNS which have different evolutive stages and can be asymptomatic or clinically evident. Imaging studies play an important role in the diagnosis of the disease and in its appropriate control.
