“…A hidrocefalia é uma complicação freqüente da neurocisticercose, responsável por cerca de 90% dos procedimentos cirúrgicos nessa patologia. É devida à obstrução mecânica da circulação liquórica pelos cistos, pela reação inflamatória (aracnoidite e/ou ependimite) desencadeada pela degeneração dos cistos ou pelos dois processos associados, podendo ocorrer tanto na fase ativa ou, tardiamente, como seqüela da doença 4,5,6,8,9,10,11,14 . Cistos livres podem obstruir mecanicamente o forâmen de Monro ou o aqueduto e desenvolver hidrocefalia intermitente, a exemplo dos cistos colóides.…”

RESUMO PALAVRAS-CHAVECisticercose intraventricular. Neuroendoscopia. Técnica cirúrgica. ABSTRACT Neuroendoscopic removal of intraventricular cysticercus. Case report Neuroendoscopic techniques should be considered as the first choice to approach intraventricular cysticercosis, in order to avoid craniotomies, cortical incisions and complex transventriculartransforaminal or transcallosal approaches. The author reports a case of intraventricular cysticercosis managed by endoscopic techniques.The cysticercus were inside the third ventricle, some fixed on the ventricular wall anteriorly besides a large one which was free in the cavity.

“…On the other hand, cysts in the sylvian fissure or in the basal subarachnoid cisterns many times grow to large dimensions. Large cysts may displace encephalic structures or obliterate the cerebral aqueduct obstructing the normal CSF flow . A similar mechanism may occur in subarachnoid NCC of the sylvian fissure or the cerebellopontine angle cistern where large cysts or cyst clusters can grow and produce similar mass effects .…”

Taenia solium infections (taeniasis/cysticercosis) are a major scourge to most developing countries. Neurocysticercosis, the infection of the human nervous system by the cystic larvae of this parasite, has a protean array of clinical manifestations varying from entirely asymptomatic infections to aggressive, lethal courses. The diversity of clinical manifestations reflects a series of contributing factors which include the number, size and location of the invading parasites, and particularly the inflammatory response of the host. This manuscript reviews the different presentations of T. solium infections in the human host with a focus on the mechanisms or processes responsible for their clinical expression.

“…During the first half of the 19th century 2% of all human autopsies in Berlin showed cysticerci (20). However, most cases now reported from the developed countries are amongst immigrants (29,34,37,43). The disease is, however, endemic in South America, India and Eastern Europe.…”

Cerebral cysticercosis is the result of infestation of the brain with the larval stage of the intestinal tape worm Taenia Solium. The disease, endemic in some parts of the world, especially Mexico, South America, India, Eastern Europe, is still encountered practically all over the world. There appear to be distinct geographical variations not only in the incidence but also the pattern of the disease. The commonly accepted modes of infection do not stand a critical analysis of available epidemiological data. The brain is a site of predilection for this infestation, where it results in meningeal racemose, parenchymatous ventricular or mixed types of lesions. It may thus produce meningo-encephalitis, granulomatous meningitis, ependymitis , focal granulomas, solitary or multiple parenchymatous cysts, hydrocephalus or a combination of these. Clinically its manifestations are protean and often perplexing, consisting, either alone or in combination, of raised intracranial pressure, focal or multifocal or generalized epileptic seizures, signs and symptoms of a focal mass lesion, hydrocephalus or chronic meningo-encephalitis. Important features of the disease are remissions and recurrences. Laboratory diagnostic investigations are generally unrewarding, there being so far, no single completely reliable test. Recent CAT scan studies have been helpful but not always diagnostic. There is no known medical treatment. Excision of a solitary parenchymatous or intraventricular lesion provides gratifying results but the management of diffuse lesions, presenting with raised intracranial pressure ("pseudo-tumour") is often frustrating. Extensive bilateral decompression, with or without an additional thecoperitoneal shunt, is helpful in some of these cases.
