Neurocysticercosis: A prospective from the Middle East

In resource poor settings, neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a common cause of acute presentation with seizures. There remains an uncertainty regarding its changing epidemiology in resource rich settings such as Qatar. We carried out a retrospective review of patients with suspected NCC at Hamad General Hospital. The results suggested that migrant population in Qatar continues to account for the preponderance of NCC morbidity with seizure, in its various phenotypes, the most common mode of presentation.
