Ventriculoscopy combined with Ommaya reservoir implantation for treatment of hydrocephalus with atypical neuroimaging features of neurocysticercosis: A case report
This case highlights ventriculoscopy-guided Ommaya reservoir implantation as a safe and effective alternative for managing parasitic infection-induced hydrocephalus when standard surgical options are contraindicated. This strategy addresses both CSF dynamics and infection and provides a reference for managing atypical neurocysticercosis cases.
