Although well described in the current literature, Neurocysticercosis [NCC] remains an enigma when confronted by practitioners. This is in part due to the haphazard nature of the parasitic infection on the central nervous system [CNS]. These include single or multiple anatomic sites of infection, stage of parasitosis, and the resultant inflammatory response. As a result, NCC can present with a complex constellation of symptomatic presentations, making therapeutic regiments highly individualized. Despite intervention, other impediments may arise post-therapy due to the nature of the infection. We present a case of rapidly progressive symptomatic NCC that initially was successfully treated, however would eventually succumb to complications of ventriculitis.
尽管神经囊尾蚴病（NCC）在当前文献中有充分描述，但临床医生在面对它时仍感到困惑。这部分是由于寄生虫对中枢神经系统（CNS）感染的随机性。这些因素包括感染的单个或多个解剖部位、寄生虫病阶段以及由此产生的炎症反应。因此，NCC可能表现出一系列复杂的症状，使得治疗方案高度个体化。尽管进行了干预，但由于感染的性质，治疗后可能会出现其他障碍。我们报告一例快速进展的有症状NCC病例，该病例最初成功治疗，但最终死于脑室炎并发症。
