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

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.
