Hi Pinki,
Neurocysticercosis is treated by medication by which the lesion undergoes fibrosis. Thereafter it is unlikely for them to recur. However, new lesions can develop. So if you are having similar features then you should see your Doctor and if required get a CT Scan done to see the status of the previous lesion.
Take care,
