[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your husbands symptoms. Neurocysticercosis refers to the tapeworm infection of the brain, and it is the commonest causes of seizures/epilepsy in India. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) can be easily treated with albendazole or praziquantel tablets. The improvement of infection can be seen and followed up with regular brain scans. NCC gets fully cured in a few months, however, it may take a few years in some cases. So, in your husbands case, the NCC infection would have got cured by now. In some people, after healing, NCC leaves a scar or calcification. These can also lead to seizures. Therefore, the anti-epileptic medications need to be continued for long. If you can send the MRI report of your husband, I can guide regarding his treatment. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
