Neurocysticercosis Causing Swelling In The Brain.
Neurocysticercosis
is the most severe form of Cysticercosis and occurs
in the Central Nervous System (CNS). Symptoms usually
start when the cysts are in the process of dying, which
causes the brain to swell. The symptoms are: seizures,
headaches, lack of attention, difficulty with balance,
and general confusion. When the cysts die the tapeworm
will form a hard shell around itself, then the swelling
will go down and the symptoms will dissipate. Death
can occur with severe infections of Neurocysticercosis.
