My son is 18 years old. While playing football he falled down due to convulsion on 12.12.2010 in the field. Immediately he was admitted to the hospital. Later it was found Neurocysticercosis as per CT Scan. Medicine Doctor prescribed truncated Omnacortil medicine along with Eptoin, Zentil etc. And he was referred to Neuromedicine Professor who prescribed Eptoin and Albend. After one month Albend was stopped after two month with CT Scan it was found no ring mark on the brain But Eptoin is still continuing. Doctor advised to continue Eptoin upto two years. My query is Whether this medicine will developed any adverse effect. Pl. advise me What to do?

My wife aged about 41 yrs is suffering from seizure disorder since her childhood from her age of 11 yrs. She was on medication since then on Mazetol 200 [Carbomezapine 200]1.5 Tab. TDS.
After our marriage I found getting her seizure initialy once in a six months. We have two children aged anout 15 yrs and 10 yrs. and after our second child seizure occurance intervals increased to once in a two years. Now since last five years there is no seizure occured.

And then we visited Neuro phycian for review thinking reducing of drug dose. But when MRI is done, a new case is developed i.e. Neurocysticercosis ? I am told that few worms have been developd.

MRI reports are as follows : Impression :- MULTIPLE DISSEMINATED RING ENHANCING AREA IN BOTH CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE RIGHT CEREBELLUM and RIGHT HIGH PARIETAL SUBDURAL SPACE WITH MINIMAL SURROUNDING EDEMA - ? DISSEMINATED GRANULOMA - ? NCC (NEUROCYSTICERCUS)

please advice me for a proper treatment and I would like to know is there any life threat.
