INTRODUCTIONNeurocysticercosis (NCC), a common parasitic disease affecting the nervous system (Del Brutto, ), is endemic in developing countries in Asia, Africa, and America. Its frequency increases in developed countries as a result of human migrations (John et al., ). Clinical disturbances include epilepsy, intracranial hypertension, and focal neurological deficits (Del Brutto, ). A prospective study (Forlenza et al., ) with 38 NCC outpatients showed that 15% had severe cognitive dysfunction, 52% had depression, and 15% had psychosis. A study including 50 patients with NCC and epilepsy (Srivastava, Chadda, Bala, & Majumdar, ) also reported a high frequency of mental disturbances (68%). Depressive and anxiety disorders were the most frequent. The purpose of this study was to explore the presence of neuropsychiatric disorders in patients with NCC.METHODSThis case‐control study was approved by the Institutional Research Committee and the Ethics Committee of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery of Mexico, according to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki (as revised in Edinburgh 2000). Subjects gave their informed consent. Anonymity has been preserved.We included untreated patients between 18 and 70 years of age, with a definitive diagnosis of NCC according to international diagnostic criteria (Del Brutto, ), through a nonprobabilistic consecutive
