Introduction: neurocysticercosis is a preventable and neglected parasitic infection of the CNS, caused by the ingestion of Taenia solium eggs, a parasitic flatworm of the Cestoda class. The presence of the larval stage (cysticerci) in the CNS can be asymptomatic or show different neurological syndromes. It is currently the cause of 30% of epilepsy cases in endemic areas. Objective: the general objective of this work is to carry out a bibliographic review of the updated scientific information on neurocysticercosis and its pharmacological treatment. Results and discussion: the essential characteristics of the disease are described, including: etiological agent, biological cycle, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, of 1247 articles retrieved, 9 clinical trials in humans were selected comparing the different therapies available to address the disease effectively, safely and efficiently. Conclusion: neurocysticercosis is a disease with a wide geographical distribution and polymorphous in its clinical expression. Treatment should be individualized according to the number, location, and stage of the lesions, as well as the intensity of the inflammatory response. First, the symptoms associated with NCC are treated with antiepileptic and anti-inflammatory drugs, leaving treatment with antiparasitic drugs last. There are few antiparasitic drugs currently available, as well as clinical trials carried out to define their appropriate dosage and their use as multi-therapy.
