Abstract

Neurocysticercosis, caused by Cysticercus cellulosae larva of Taenia solium, is considered a neglected tropical disease. Though neglected, the disease cannot be forgotten because of its high endemicity in poor countries and increasing cases in well-developed countries of the world due to increased migration and travel. One of the major reasons for its emergence is the lack of absolute diagnosis of the disease. Recent diagnostic criteria by Del Brutto, illustrate that the definitive diagnosis cannot be done without neuroimaging evidence. This becomes a challenge for the diagnosis of the most vulnerable population residing in endemic areas with deficit resources. Hence, the review highlights the need of enhancing the research in the field of Neurocysticercosis diagnosis. Various diagnostic techniques which are being employed in the Neurocysticercosis diagnosis have been explored, the highlights and challenges are discussed which would help in filling the gaps in the knowledge of absolute diagnosis of this disease.
