True statement about Neurocysticercosis is:
Neurocysticercosis- Usually presents with focal seizures Standard therapy consists of Albendazole (10-15 mg/kg/d orally) or praziquantel (50 mg/kg/d orally). Albendazole is preferred, and coicosteroids appear to lower circulating praziquantel levels but increase albendazole levels. Coicosteroids are used for controlling seizures and some repos have shown exacerbation of disease after anti-helminthic therapy. Active lesions with a high likelihood of progression, such as intra-ventricular cysts, may benefit from therapy. Inactive calcified lesions probably do not benefit from therapy.
