What is Neurocysticercosis? | Explained by Dr. Kaustubh S. Mahajan

"Recurrent seizures? It might be more than just epilepsy..." Neurocysticercosis is one of the most common causes of seizures (fits) in several countries. It occurs when a parasitic tapeworm infection affects the brain, often due to consuming contaminated food, water, or undercooked pork. When we consume food or water contaminated with the larvae of a pork tapeworm, the parasite can enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain. There, it forms cysts (lumps) in the brain tissue, which can lead to seizures and other neurological symptoms. Common symptoms include: 1. Frequent seizures or fits 2. Headaches 3. Neurological changes or confusion ✅ The good news: Neurocysticercosis is completely treatable. Step 1: MRI to detect cysts in the brain Step 2: Blood tests to confirm the infection Step 3: A full course of anti-parasitic medications that can eliminate the infection and stop the seizures completely Unlike many other causes of epilepsy, this condition can be cured with proper medical treatment. 🧪 Early diagnosis = full recovery. 📍 Don’t ignore recurring fits — it might be a treatable infection. #Neurocysticercosis #Seizures #BrainInfection #TreatableSeizures #TapewormInBrain #MRI #FitsTreatment #NeurologyAwareness #MedicalEducation #DrKaustubhMahajan For More Details:- https://www.fortishealthcare.com/ Contact- 022 6884 6143 Follow Us:- Facebook-  / fortismum   Instagram-  / fortismumbai
