*4.4.2 Calcifications in neurocysticercosis*

Calcifications are a characteristic finding in neuroimaging studies of patients with NCC. They result from the degeneration and calcification of the larval cysticerci within the CNS [5, 7, 15, 35–37]. Calcifications in NCC appear as dense, white areas on neuroimaging studies such as CT scans. They are typically round or oval in shape and can vary in size, ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Calcifications are commonly observed in the brain parenchyma, ventricles, subarachnoid space, and rarely, the spinal cord [5, 7, 37].
