| Core Tip |
Intraventricular neurocysticercosis (NCC) may present with obstructive hydrocephalus requiring urgent management. Although endoscopic third ventriculostomy can relieve hydrocephalus, it may not address the underlying obstruction caused by the cyst. This case highlights the management dilemma between cerebrospinal fluid diversion and definitive cyst removal in fourth ventricle NCC. When symptoms persist or the lesion enlarges, microsurgical excision through a suboccipital telovelar approach remains a safe and effective treatment strategy. |
