patients treated
with albendazole

conditions.
Patients may
experience
neurological
symptoms (e.g.
seizures, increased
intracranial
pressure and focal
signs) as a result
of an inflammatory
reaction caused by
death of the
parasite within the
brain. Symptoms
may occur soon
after treatment;
appropriate steroid
and anticonvulsant
therapy should be
started
immediately.
Cysticercosis may,
in rare cases,
involve the retina.
Before initiating
therapy for
neurocysticercosis,
the patient should
be examined for
the presence of
6
retinal lesions. If
such lesions are
visualized, the
need for
anticysticeral
therapy should be
weighed against
the possibility of
retinal damage
caused by
albendazoleinduced changes
to the retinal
lesion.
