“…Cranial nerve involvement in NCC may be due to various causes. Ramina et al 4 reported a large cyst at the cerebellopontine angle causing sensorineural hearing loss, facial palsy, trigeminal sensory symptoms accompanied by long-tract dysfunction. Keane5 found that NCC causes raised intracranial pressure due to hydrocephalus, subacute meningitis and mass effect due to cysticerci and their surrounding oedema presents with papilledema as the most common sign with frequent pupillary abnormalities and nystagmus.…”

Em vista da possibilidade de descompensação da HIC e de herniação transtentorial provocada por ampliação da reação inflamatória decorrente da degeneração do cisto, contra-indica-se o tratamento clínico específico com drogas cisticidas em pacientes apresentando cisto gigante com efeito de massa no SNC 4 .…”
