Cognitive Manifestations of Racemose Neurocysticercosis: A Two Case Report

Although rare, rNCC should be considered as a differential diagnosis for a wide range of neurological conditions in regions where NCC is common. Atypical clinical findings and headache should be regarded as warning signs. T2 and T1 gadolinium-enhanced MRI sequences were essential in assessing these cases. CSF showed a characteristic profile, and blood ELISA and CSF WB were able to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment with antiparasitic drugs combined with corticosteroids appears to be effective and well tolerated. Further research is necessary to improve the diagnosis and treatment of rNCC.
