Solitary fourth ventricular neurocysticercosis presenting as status migrainosus.
Fourth ventricular cysts in patients with neurocysticercosis are generally solitary without accompanying parenchymal cysts and hence present with hydrocephalic symptoms at the time of implantation. We report a patient with status migrainosus-like presentation in whom the neurological examination was normal and the diagnosis was made by imaging (CT and MRI scan).
