Intraventricular racemose type neurocysticercosis with anterior interhemispheric fissure cyst: A rare case report

J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2015 Apr-Jun;6(2):234-7. doi: 10.4103/0976-3147.153232.

Abstract

Racemose type of neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a rare form of parasitic infestation of central nervous system. Most commonly it is found in fourth ventricle and cisterns. On reviewing the PubMed and Google databases, we found that this would be the first reported case of racemose type NCC in occipital horn of lateral ventricle with obstructive hydrocephalus, along with an incidental interhemispheric fissure arachnoid cyst.

Keywords: Hydrocephalus; interhemispheric fissure arachnoid cyst; neurocysticercosis; racemose.
