Cisternal Neurocysticercosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Therapeutic Efficacy, Safety, and Outcomes

2025Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Albendazole demonstrates potential in reducing active cysts in cisternal NCC, though its efficacy varies across different clinical outcomes, necessitating personalized treatment approaches. The observed heterogeneity and the variable impact on cyst resolution and seizures underscore the complexity of managing NCC. Further high-quality, large-scale RCTs are essential to solidify these findings and guide treatment protocols, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary strategies in addressing this challenging condition.
