We performed a 3-Phase, population-based study, to assess the prevalence and pathogenesis of stroke in a rural village of coastal Ecuador, where cysticercosis is highly endemic. Twenty stroke patients were found among 642 individuals \u2265 40 years of age. Eighteen of these patients underwent neuroimaging studies and no patient had evidence of NCC or angiitis of intracranial vessels. The serum immunoblot test for the detection of anticysticercal antibodies, performed in 15 of these 20 patients during a previous survey, were negative in 13 cases and the remaining two had a normal computed tomography of the head. This study suggests that NCC is not responsible for the increasing burden of stroke in rural areas of developing countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,9]],"date-time":"2013-07-09T01:59:27Z","timestamp":1373335167000},"page":"374-375","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Importance of Neurocysticercosis in Stroke in Rural Areas of a Developing Latin American Country"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"89","author":[{"given":"Oscar H.","family":"Del Brutto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julio","family":"Lama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Neurologist","first-page":"17","article-title":"Cerebrovascular complications of neurocysticercosis","volume":"18","author":"Marquez","year":"2012"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry","first-page":"252","article-title":"Cysticercosis and cerebrovascular disease: a review","volume":"55","author":"Del Brutto","year":"1992"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Arch Neurol","first-page":"777","article-title":"Neurocysticercosis.
