Neurocysticercosis

Migrating intraventricular cysticercosis: magnetic resonance imaging findings

“…Reports demonstrating intraventricular migrating neurocysticercosis are rare 8,9 . Thomas et al 9 reported a 10-year-old boy, who presented with headache and vomiting of one-week duration.…”

Intraventricular Neurocysticercosis: Comparative Analysis of Different Localizations. Clinical Course and Treatment: A Systematic Review

“…Open surgery(usually with an operating microscope) has been used for several years[ (12,63,64]. The common approaches are transcortical (lateral ventricular cyst); transcallosal or transcortical (lateral or third ventricle) and suboccipital midbrain (fourth ventricle), but it has drawbacks: craniotomy, blood loss, possibly delayed hydrocephalus, withdrawal of brain invasion with the potential risk of damage to the vital structure, periventricular edema, and ventricular entrapment [8,13 ,65 ].…”

Revised diagnostic criteria for neurocysticercosis

“…from the temporal to the occipital horn of a lateral ventricle or from the anterior to the posterior aspects of the III ventricle). This migration may occur when cysts are freely-floating within the ventricular system and, although rare, is virtually pathognomonic of NCC [34][35][36][37].…”
