Prognosis for Seizure Recurrence in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Neurocysticercosis Neurol 59:1730-1734,1669, Carpio,A. &Hauser,W.A., 2002 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Seizure recurrence is high after a first acute symptomatic seizure due to NC, but this seems related to persistence of active brain lesions. Recurrence risk is low and in keeping with seizure risk following other brain insults leading to a static encephalopathy in those in whom the NC lesion clears. Patients with NC should receive antiseizure medications until the acute lesion clears on CT. There is no correlation between treatment with antihelminthic agents and seizure recurrence.
