Endoscopic approach to fourth ventricle cysticercosis.
Neurocysticercosis is the most frequently observed parasitosis of the central nervous system worldwide. The fourth ventricle is the most frequent site of intraventricular infestation, a location that carries a higher risk for CSF blockage and intracranial hypertension due to CSF blockage. A great number of patients become shunt dependent which carries a poorer prognosis. We report on a case of ...
متن کاملNeurocysticercosis of the fourth ventricle associated with hydrocephalus.
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection of the central nervous system with the cysts of Taenia solium, the pig tapeworm. Infection presents with a pleomorphic picture depending on the stage and location of the infection and the immune response of the infected host. Historically confined to the developing world, neurocysticercosis is no longer limited to endemic regions, as globalization, tr...
متن کاملFourth ventricle computed tomography indexes: standardisation and characteristics in neurocysticercosis.
OBJECTIVES to propose standardisation of fourth ventricle dimensions and to study its characteristics in neurocysticercosis. METHOD a control group (CG) constituted by 114 individuals with normal CT, and 80 patients with neurocysticercosis composed the group with neurocysticercosis (GN). Measures of the inner cranial diameter (Cr), fronto-polar distance between both lateral ventricles (FP), a...

متن کاملEndoscopic transaqueductal removal of fourth ventricular neurocysticercosis: report of three cases.
In this study, we try to present our experience of transaqueductal removal of the fourth ventricular neurocysticercosis (FVNCC) with a flexible neuroendoscope. Three cases of the fourth ventricular cysticercosis were transaqueductally removed with FUJINON EB-270P flexible neuroendoscope through a frontal precoronal burr hole. The diagnosis was established on imaging and confirmed on histology i...
