Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Neurocysticercosis is a common cerebral parasitic infestation, caused due to pork tapeworm infection the infestations risks parallels the socio-economic status, personal hygiene and education. The effect of NCC was assessed in neurocognition.
OBJECTIVE: To study demographic characteristics and neurocognitive domains of patients with Neurocysticercosis.
METHODS: Neurocysticercosis diagnosed patients by CT, MRI and LAMP tests. MMSE score was measured for assessment.
RESULTS: MMSE score were reduced in majority of the patients. In attention was the most common deficit found. Repeat MMSE assessment done in 6 patients showed an improvement of scores post therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive involvement is common in NCC and is a major cause of morbidity.

摘要：
背景：脑囊虫病是一种常见的脑寄生虫感染，由于猪肉tape虫感染引起的感染风险与社会经济地位相似，个人卫生和教育。在神经认知中评估NCC的作用。
目的：研究脑囊虫病患者的人口学特征和神经认知领域。
方法：脑囊虫病CT诊断，MRI和LAMP测试。测量MMSE评分用于评估。
结果：大多数患者的MMSE评分降低。值得注意的是发现的最常见的赤字。在6例患者中进行的重复MMSE评估显示治疗后评分改善。
结论：认知受累在NCC中很常见，并且是发病的主要原因。
