“… 1 Previously reported cases of racemose neurocysticercosis demonstrated these lesions mostly in the basal cisterns, Sylvian fissure and a few of them in anterior interhemispheric fissure. 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 This report describes an unusual location of racemose neurocysticercosis located anterior and inferior to the splenium of the corpus callosum and between the fornixes associated with intraventricular neurocysticercosis in the atrium of the left lateral ventricle and fourth ventricle.…”

Racemose and intraventricular neurocysticercosis are uncommon types of neurocysticercosis, resulting in a multiloculated, grape-like cluster appearance in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces. A male patient presented with symptoms of raised intracranial pressure and demonstrated racemose neurocysticercosis at an atypical location involving the region of the crus of the fornix at the level of the body of lateral ventricles on magnetic resonance imaging. Associated intraventricular neurocysticercosis was seen in the atrium of the left lateral ventricle and fourth ventricle.

“…The clinical presentation depends on the number, location, and stage of development of the cysticerci as well as the host's immune response. [3][4][5] Due to the increased migration of people from endemic regions, NCC has become a major health problem worldwide. [6][7][8][9] Treatment includes antiparasitic drugs (praziquantel and albendazole) and surgery.…”

BACKGROUND Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a global public health problem. It is a complex disease to manage and a cause of great morbidity and mortality in affected patients. Conventional surgical approaches have been used for many years, but currently, minimally invasive approaches are being used with good results. The authors present a case of NCC in the anterior interhemispheric fissure that was treated with a transventricular endoscopic approach. OBSERVATIONS A 32-year-old male patient was admitted for persistent moderate headache and dizziness. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple parenchymal, ventricular, and subarachnoid cystic lesions, especially in the anterior interhemispheric space. A transventricular endoscopic approach was selected and applied. There were no complications during surgery. Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of NCC. Control MRI demonstrated the absence of cysts in the anterior interhemispheric space. LESSONS Minimally invasive approaches are an excellent alternative for patients with NCC, especially if a patient requires more than one surgery.
