Intraventricular cysticercal cyst
Due to the risk of acute obstructive hydrocephalus and mortality, intraventricular cysticercosis has been considered as a potentially life-threaten-ing emergency that needs an early diagnosis and urgent intervention. In the present article, we discuss the imaging findings in a case of intraventricul...
