Calcified frontal neurocysticercosis presenting with acute psychosis in a non-endemic context: a case report

This case demonstrates acute, reversible psychosis associated with calcified frontal-lobe neurocysticercosis, highlighting the importance of neuroimaging in first-episode or atypical psychosis, particularly in patients from endemic regions or with a history of seizures. Clinical improvement following combined antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, antiepileptic, and antipsychotic therapy supports the value of early multidisciplinary management, while recognizing that symptom resolution likely reflects multifactorial influences. As global migration increases, clinicians in non-endemic regions should remain aware of NCC as a potential contributor to secondary psychosis.
