Neurocysticercosis as the Main Cause of Late-Onset Epilepsy in Mexico
Abstract
We studied 100 consecutive Mexican patients with epilepsy that started after the age of 25 years. All patients underwent clinical evaluation, computed tomography, and electroencephalography; additionally, cerebrospinal fluid analysis was performed in 82 of them. Neurocysticercosis or its sequelae were diagnosed in 50 patients (50%); 36 of these patients had partial seizures, 41 had parenchymal calcifications, and 15 had two or more lesions. Our results are in contrast with those of most studies from countries with a low incidence of neurocysticercosis, where brain tumors, cerebrovascular disease, trauma, and alcoholism are the main causes of tardive epilepsy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
