Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection of the central nervous system with the cysts of , the pig tapeworm. Infection presents with a pleomorphic picture depending on the stage and location of the infection and the immune response of the infected host. Historically confined to the developing world, neurocysticercosis is no longer limited to endemic regions, as globalization, travel, and immigration permit the spread of the infection. We report a young Hispanic patient who was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis of the fourth ventricle and subsequent hydrocephalus.
神经囊尾蚴病是一种由猪带绦虫囊尾蚴引起的中枢神经系统寄生虫感染。根据感染的阶段、部位以及受感染宿主的免疫反应，感染表现出多形性症状。神经囊尾蚴病过去局限于发展中世界，但随着全球化、旅行和移民促使感染传播，它不再局限于流行地区。我们报告了一名年轻的西班牙裔患者，该患者被诊断为第四脑室神经囊尾蚴病并继发脑积水。
