BACKGROUND: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common infestation of the central nervous system, caused by the larval stage of the pig tapeworm Taenia solium. It is prevalent in regions with poor sanitation and underdevelopment, such as Latin America.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We present four cases in which they harbored an intraventricular/intraparenchymal, frontal convexity, cerebellomedullary, and intraparenchymal NCC cyst of medium size, respectively. Three of them underwent complete removal of the cyst by craniotomy; the fourth had a shunt for obstructive hydrocephalus first, followed by excision of a suboccipital cyst 8 months later.
CONCLUSION: The intraventricular/intraparenchymal lesion was more complex to treat than its subarachnoid counterparts because the average brain should be transected and dissected away to achieve total removal. Waterjet dissection, arachnoid microdissection, and cyst drainage allowed minor brain damage than capsule coagulation and traction. Populated prospective studies are needed better to understand the surgical nuances of these rare entities.
