Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your son is most likely suffering from neurocysticercosis [NCC], which is caused by tape worm infection. This infection comes from the infected food, and enters the brain in some cases. In most cases, the worm passes out of stool.  There is no need to worry, as it is fully treatable with medications. Please follow the advice of your neurologist. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
