It is widely prevalent in developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In the United States, however, there were 18,584 hospitalizations for NCC between 2003 and The management for NCC includes surgery and medication, wherein the optimal timing for surgery depends on the patient s infection, especially on the fetal condition. Medication includes antiparasitic, antiinflammatory, and antiepileptic therapies for general management. Albendazole and praziquantel as antiparasitic therapy are recommended by current guidelines. The optimal therapy for patients with NCC depends on several factors, including the location, number, and type of cysts. Current studies indicate that albendazole is preferred over praziquantel for NCC. Key words: Neurocysticercosis, antiparasitic therapy, antiparasitic therapy
