Clinical Trial: Treatment of Peri-calcification Edema in Neurocysticercosis (NCC)

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Open Controled Randomized Pilot Study on the Use of Acetazolamide and Dexamethasone for the Acute Phase of Perilesional Edema in Calcified Neurocysticercosis

Brief Summary: Three-arm open, randomized comparative study of acetazolamide, dexamethasone, or no additional treatment to evaluate decrease in peri-calcification edema in neurocysticercosis

Detailed Summary: This study will evaluate 24 patients with calcified NCC and edema in three treatment arms to compare the reduction in edema volume
