Cognitive sequelae associated with parenchymal and extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis

Key Points

• Cognitive deficits are prevalent among individuals with neurocysticercosis, especially in varying forms of the condition.
• The study highlights the need for neuroimaging to assess cognitive impacts associated with neurocysticercosis.
• Several cognitive domains are affected, indicating broad implications for those diagnosed with the parasitic infection.
• Further research is essential to understand the mechanisms behind cognitive impacts in neurocysticercosis cases.
