  • Title: Clinical and radiographic response of fourth ventricle cysticercosis to praziquantel therapy.
    Author: Fandiño J, Botana C, Fandiño C, Rodriguez D, Gomez-Bueno J.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 1991; 111(3-4):135-7. PubMed ID: 1950687.
    Abstract:
    A case of fourth ventricle cysticercosis treated with praziquantel is presented. The disappearance of the lesion six months after the treatment was demonstrated by CT scan. A review of the literature indicates that this is a very exceptional result, because with recently intraventricular cysticercosis was considered to be non-responsive to praziquantel treatment, making surgery necessary.
