Human neurocysticercosis is one of the most prevalent parasitic infestations of the central nervous system. It is considered the most frequent underlying etiology of acquired epilepsy in endemic areas in Central and South America, East Europe, Africa, and Asia, with over 50 million people affected globally. Ventricular involvement is a severe form of neurocysticercosis commonly manifests as arachnoiditis, raised intracranial pressure, or hydrocephalus, secondary to CSF flow obstruction of the ventricular system by cysts ofTaenia solium, hence requiring prompt, aggressive intervention to alleviate the increased intracranial pressure to prevent imminent lethal complications. Ventricular neurocysticercosis can involve any brain ventricle but with a paramount preference for the fourth ventricle, causing non-communicating hydrocephalus and symmetric ventriculomegaly. However, in this clinical report, we present an uncommon case of trapped (locked-in) lateral ventricle caused by an isolated cysticercus trapped at the ipsilateral foramen of Monro, which is an atypical location for neurocysticercosis, adding more challenges to diagnosis and during the process of surgical extraction. We additionally provide a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the clinical course and management options relevant to the entity of ventricular neurocysticercosis, besides recent relevant clinical updates.
