Racemose Fourth Ventricle Neurocysticercosis Excision Through Telovelar Approach and Hydrodissection.

Intraventricular neurocysticercosis is associated with more severe complications and a worse overall outcome. Fourth ventricle neurocysticercosis (FVNCC) often presents with cerebrospinal fluid obstruction and hydrocephalus by means of direct mechanical occlusion of ventricular outlets by the cysts or due to an ependymal inflammatory response. Unfortunately, there is little consensus on the optimal management for FVNCC.

Background: Post-infective hydrocephalus (PIH) arises as a complication of any CNS infection, and can be either communicating or noncommunicating.
Objective: The aim of this article is to study the various causes of PIH and its pathophysiology and treatment.
Material And Methods: The literature was searched for articles describing the causes of PIH.
A case of racemose and intraventricular neurocysticercosis in an unusual location.

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.

Department of Neurosurgery, Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Background: Prompt diagnosis and early treatment institution are important in intraventricular neurocysticercosis (IVNCC) as compared to the parenchymal or racemose form because it is associated with a poorer patient prognosis. Intraventricular neurocysticercosis is often missed on CT scan or conventional cranial magnetic resonance imaging because of similar density or signal intensity of cysticercus lesion with cerebrospinal fluid.Thestudy aims to evaluate the added value of 3D-DRIVE and SWI MRI sequences in isolated intraventricular cysticercosis with acute neurological presentation.

Department of Neurosurgery, University of California, Davis, California, United States.
Background: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system worldwide and is caused by the larval form of the tapeworm . In general, larval form may be located in the neuraxis, resulting in pathology. Here, we report a rare case of female with a history of adult onset seizures presenting with adult form in the fourth ventricle, causing hydrocephalus.
