Background:
The movements of a neurocysticercosis cyst within the ventricular cavity have been identified rarely.
Case Description:
A 22-year old male patient presented with the main symptom of diplopia for about a week. Findings of the neurologic examination revealed bilateral sixth cranial nerve weakness. Investigations during the period showed an intraventricular tumor that migrated from lateral ventricle to the third ventricle and subsequently to the fourth ventricle. The lesion was resected from the fourth ventricle and was identified to be a neurocysticercosis cyst.
Conclusions:
Such an intraventricular migration of any kind of tumor has not been recorded in the literature.
