OBJECTIVE: Cysticercosis is a parasitic infestation that can be seen in developing countries with poor sanitation. The infection at brain, called neurocysticercosis, is a serious form. The neurocysticercosis can manifest neuropsychiatric presentations including dementia.
METHODS: In this short review, the author briefly summarizes on neurocysticercosis and dementia.
RESULTS: In clinical practice, neurocysticercosis can manifest several neuropsychiatric symptoms. Dementia is an important neuropsychiatric manifestation to be mentioned. Many dementia patients have neurocysticercosis as underlying etiology. The problem might be unrecognized by practitioner and this can result in a delayed diagnosed, hence, the concern of the practitioner is required.
CONCLUSION: Since the recovery after treatment of parasitic infection is very good, early diagnosis is a critical step determining success of patient management.
