35 Therapy for NCC 1- Palliative measures 2- Etiological - Albendazole - Praziquantel - Surgical removal
36 Pharmacologic Therapy Goal - Simultaneous destruction of multiple cysts - Controlling inflammatory reaction with steroids - Better clinical evolution
37 Evolution of Epilepsy after ALB Double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial Albendazole (60 cases) X Placebo (60 cases) ALB group Faster resolution of cysts Similar proportion of partial seizures Reduction in the rate of seizures with generalization Garcia et al.

38 ALB x PZQ ALB more effective than PZQ Sotelo et al. (Arch Neurol ) Sotelo et al. (J Neurol ) Cruz et al. (Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg ) Takayanagui et al. (Arch Neurol ) Both drugs are ineffective Carpio et al (Arch Intern Med )
39 ALB x PZQ COST PZQ (50 mg/kg/d for 21 days) - US$ 502 ALB (15 mg/kg/d for 8 days) - US$ 38
40 Praziquantel for 1 day PZQ - 75 mg/kg (3 divided doses) Dexamethasone (3 following days) - 10 mg/d IM Resolution of cysts - 80% Corona et al (N Engl J Med 334: 125,1996)
