| dc.description.abstract | OBJECTIVE: Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitosis of the central nervous system. Many forms, especially those inside the ventricles, carry a poor prognosis. Drug therapy is far from ideal.METHODS: We propose and comment on the use of the endoscope to remove cysts, treat hydrocephalus, and to perform membrane fenestration as a way to simplify treatment.RESULTS: Many patients, especially those with obstructive forms, benefit from the adjunctive use of neuroendoscopy.CONCLUSIONS: Neurocysticercosis treatment remains challenging and multimodal. Endoscopes can be helpful in this setting. | en |
