We report seven patients who presented with clinical manifestations of ischemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD), dementia, and on CT Scan radiological signs of active neurocysticercosis and Binswangers Disease (BD) were found. Two patients died due to bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism secondary to deep venous thrombosis on lower limbs and the others remain alive. In almost all of them after one day of treatment with praziquantel(PZQ) some aggravation of the clinical manifestations of BD were observed. We have hypothesized about the Taenia solium-microglial activation-coagulation disorder and glial disorders-Blood-Brain-Barrier disturbances-Binswangers disease. We considered that anti-parasitic therapy for active NCC in patients with an associated BD should be prescribed for some isolated cases when its extremely necessary.
