dc.description.abstractAbstract Neurocysticercosis Areeporn    Chonhenchob       MD Department of Surgery, BMA Medical College and Vajira Hospital           Neurocysticercosis is the common neurosurgical disease in Thailand. It is the leading cause of hydrocephalus and late-onset epilepsy in adults. The development of techniques in neuroimaging and immunological studies contribute the accurate and rapid diagnosis. Moreover, successful medical treatment has been established by new medical treatment. Albendazole or praziquantel are two effective medicines that can reduce the course of treatment to 8 days and to 1 day respectively. These medicines are inexpensive and convenient especially in endemic areas because most affected patients are in low socioeconomic status. Vajira Med J 2007 ; 51 : 135 - 139en_US
