Author(s): Lourdes de Fatima Ibanez Valdes and Foyaca-Sibat Humberto*
Abstract
Background: Neurocysticercosis is a zoonotic and neglected parasitic disorder affecting the cerebral hemispheres, the brainstem, the cerebellum, the spinal cord, the optic nerve and all brain cavities and covering all patients who complain of headaches and epilepsy. Comorbidity among NCC/OSAS has not been study.
Method: We searched the articles published in the medical literature comprehensively, looking for Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms like “neurocysticercosis”, “pathogenesis of NCC “, “comorbidity NCC/AUD” OR “OR “OUD/NCC/DYSBIOSIS”; OR “NCC/AUD/microbiotas” OR “AUD/NCC/Brain damage”.
Results: The total of selected articles were previously peer-reviewed, and we did not find publications related to NCC/AUD, AUD/NCC/Dysbiosis, NCC/AUD/IS/Ep.
Comments and closing thoughts: We delivered some hypotheses on the role played by AUD on NCC and vice versa, as well as on dysbiosis. It is the first time this review has been done.
