Hippocampal sclerosis: The missing link of cysticercosis epileptogenesis?

A closed workshop was held in Atahualpa, Ecuador, with support from Universidad Espiritu Santo—Ecuador. Aims of the workshop were to gain more insights on the suggested association between neurocysticercosis (NCC), epilepsy, and hippocampal sclerosis (HS), and to design a study that will help to better characterize this association, namely, is there a causal relationship between NCC and HS, and, if so, is this association linked to chronic unprovoked seizures?
