A study on neurcognitive disorders and demographic profile of neurocysticercosis patients.
Background: Neurocysticercosis is a common cerebral parasitic infestation, caused due to pork tapeworm infection the infestations risks parallels the socio-economic status, personal hygiene and education. The effect of NCC was assessed in neurocognition.
Objective: To study demographic characteristics and neurocognitive domains of patients with Neurocysticercosis.
Methods: Neurocysticercosis diagnosed patients by CT, MRI and LAMP tests. MMSE score was measured for assessment.
Results: MMSE score were reduced in majority of the patients. In attention was the most common deficit found. Repeat MMSE assessment done in 6 patients showed an improvement of scores post therapy.
Conclusion: Cognitive involvement is common in NCC and is a major cause of morbidity.
