Neurocysticercosis: regression of a fourth ventricular cyst with praziquantel.

D A Allcut1, A Coulthard.   

Abstract

Symptomatic intraventricular cysticerci are said to respond poorly to the anticestodial agent praziquantel. A case is reported of rapid regression of a large cyst of the fourth ventricle after oral praziquantel, avoiding the need for surgery.
