We present here a case of 19-year-old female presented with partial hanging, on CT brain incidentally found to have asymmetric ectasia of right lateral ventricle, for which MRI was done revealed - intraventricular neurocysticercosis causing obstructive hydrocephalus. Extra parenchymal neurocysticercosis can occur in ventricles, sub arachnoid space, spine and eyes. A recent study reported an overall frequency of subarachnoid cysts in 2%, ventricular cysts in 6%, and hydrocephalus in 16% of NCC cases. It may be associated with any neurological sign and symptom. Focal neurological deficits have been recognized in one-third of symptomatic patients. Motor deficits, involuntary movements, Parkinsonism, language disturbances, sensory deficits may occur in some patients. Psychiatric disorders may mark the evolution of hydroc...
