@#Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment in neurocysticercosis with headache symptoms.MethodsThe clinical data of 112 patients suffered from neurocysticercosis with headache symptoms from January 2001 to December 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were divided into two groups extraparenchymal cysticercosis and intraparenchymal cysticercosis.ResultsEdema could cause headache symptoms in the paitents with intraparenchymal cysticercosis. Most of these patients could recover after medicine treatment. The patients with extraparenchymal cysticercosis, whose headache symptoms were caused by hydrencephaly and edema, usually needed surgical procedures and medical therapy.ConclusionThe treatment should be individualized because headache symptoms could result in different causes.
