  • Title: [Hydrocephalus and cerebral cysticercosis. A case report. Review of the literature].
    Author: Bellard S, Vincentelli F, Rabehanta P, Polydor JP, Caruso G.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1990; 36(3):185-90. PubMed ID: 2234263.
    Abstract:
    A case of intraventricular and cisternal cerebral cysticercosis with no intraparenchymatous involvement is reported. The clinical features were characterized by episodes of blockage of the C.S.F. pathways producing acute hydrocephalus. On three occasions surgical treatment was required: two ventriculoperitoneal shunts and a ventriculocisternostomy were performed. The intraventricular cystic membranes found during the third operation suggested the diagnosis. Epidemiological arguments, the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus and diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are discussed in the light of the literature data.
