Hi,

Actually, your condition is called neurocysticercosis where larva of tapeworm migrate to brain. Now, your condition may have improved but you are at risk to develop seizures. Hence, you must be very cautious and need regular follow up.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Diwashish Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
