Medical News Today: Researchers Find Relationship Between Brain Fluid And Adult Seizures

According to a new study published early online and in the December issue of Lancet Neurology, researchers better understand the disease mechanisms behind brain seizures that are due to the tapeworm-derived parasitic infection called neurocysticercosis. Their finding that the seizures are frequently associated with fluid or perlesional oedema (PO) around dead calcified cysticercal granulomas (immune cells) may lead to better possible treatment targets.
