Endoscopic endonasal approach for isolated subarachnoid neurocysticercosis in basal cisterns and its complications: illustrative case.

Background: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is an infectious parasitic disease in which humans are the middle host in the life cycle of Taenia solium. It is currently considered to be a neglected tropical disease. According to their location, cysts can cause epilepsy, hydrocephalus, arachnoiditis, and intracranial hypertension.

Intracranial thrombosis after ventriculoperitoneal shunting.

We reviewed the literature to highlight the importance of considering the possibility of cerebral venous thrombosis following VPS, even though it is a rarely reported complication. A 14-year-old boy underwent distal catheter replacement due to its short size that was detected during a routine consultation.
