  Background: Neurocysticercosis is an eradicable and preventable zoonotic parasitic neurological disease caused by the infection of the larva form of pig tapeworm Taenia solium, causing headaches and epileptic seizures most seen in developing countries worldwide. When the cysticercus is dying in the Central Nervous System (CNS), many pro-inflammatory elements are realized to participate in the immune response. The primary aid of this article is to look at how waste products from this process are removed from the CNS to the periphery through the Meningeal Lymphatic Vessel (MLV) and the Glymphatic System (GS) supported by aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and Corpora Amylacea (CA). To answer our research question, we conducted a systematic review of the medical literature (never done before) and delivered some hypotheses for each situation. Method: We searche.. Read More»
