Melanopsin Retinal Ganglion Cells and Pupil: Clinical Implications for Neuro-Ophthalmology.

abstract：:Neurocysticercosis (NC) is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system (CNS). Several studies have reported an association between NC and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). We intended to evaluate the frequency of hippocampal atrophy (HA), clinical evolution and imaging findings in patients wi...
