Resumen

La neurocisticercosis es la parasitosis cerebral más común. De las tres formas de presentación la cisticercosis intraventricular es la menos habitual y se asocia a peor pronóstico. El diagnóstico viene dado prin-cipalmente por los métodos de neuroimagen, sobre todo la resonancia magnética (RM), que además es indispensable como control previo a la cirugía, y en la elección del tratamiento y valoración de la respuesta al mismo.

Presentamos el caso de una mujer ecuatoriana de 24 años de edad con clínica de hipertensión intracraneal debida a quiste por cisticerco en el tercer ventrículo y analizamos los hallazgos en imagen y su utili-dad de cara a los posibles tratamientos.

Abstract

Neurocysticercosis is the most common cerebral parasitosis. Of the three forms in which it can present itself, intraventricular cysticercosis is the least common and has the poorest prognosois. Diagnosis is principally made through the use of neuroimaging methods, especially MR, which is also indispensable both as a preoperative control and in the choice and response evaluation of postoperative treatment.

We present the case of a 24-year-old Ecuadoran woman with clinical intracraneal hypertension due to a cysticercus cyst in the third ventricle. We analyze the imaging findings and their usefulness in assessing possible treatments.
