Se estima que existen millones de personas afectadas en países en desarrollo, es la primera causa de convulsiones y de epilepsia adquirida. Comunicamos el caso de una paciente de 40 años, sin antecedentes importantes, que de forma súbita tuvo pérdida del estado de alerta y datos clínicos de hipertensión intracraneana. En la tomografía axial computada se encontró edema cerebral e hidrocefalia no comunicante, por lo que se le colocó una válvula de derivación ventrículo-peritoneal. El abordaje se complementó con una resonancia magnética en secuencia FIESTA en la que se observó el quiste del cisticerco intraventricular anterior. El abordaje terapéutico multidisciplinario incluyó la extracción del quiste por neuroendoscopia y tratamiento farmacológico con esteroides y cisticidas. La paciente evolucionó favorablemente, con recuperación total del estado de alerta y como única secuela tuvo alteración de la memoria del trabajo. En los últimos años, el desarrollo del tratamiento antiparasitario y de técnicas de neurocirugía mínimamente invasivas ha mejorado el pronóstico de los pacientes.]]></p></abstract>

It is estimated that there are millions of people affected in developing countries, being the first cause of seizures and acquired epilepsy. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman, with no relevant history, who presented sudden loss of alertness and clinical data of intracraneal hypertension, which was confirmed by CT in addition to finding non-communicating hydrocephalus, the patient underwent to the placement of a ventriculo-peritoneal bypass valve without complications and the approach was complemented by a magnetic resonance in a FIESTA sequence in which the cysticercus cyst intraventricular was observed. The patient underwent removal of the cyst by neuroendoscopy and treatment based on steroids and cysticides. The patient evolved favorably, with full recovery of alertness and the only sequelae was the alteration of work memory. In recent years, the development of antiparasitic therapy and minimally invasive neurosurgery techniques has improved the prognosis of patients.]]></p></abstract>
