The authors describe a case of a 12-year-old female with an intra-ventricular cysticercal cyst in the third ventricle, which migrated to left occipital horn during surgical evacuation. The present case highlights the utility of magnetic resonance imaging over computed tomography and role of early postoperative magnetic resonance imaging to rule out the possibility of cyst migration and treatment failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
