Calcified neurocysticercosis lesions and antiepileptic drug–resistant epilepsy: A surgically remediable syndrome?

Abstract

In endemic regions, although rare, CNLs are potential cause for AED-resistant and surgically remediable epilepsy, as well as dual pathology. Presence of perilesional gliosis contributes to epileptogenicity of these lesions. For those patients with CNL and HS, resection of both lesions favors better chance of seizure-free outcome.
