A case is reviewed in which a young Mexican-American female presented to an otologist's office with a headache and vertigo. Her symptoms were a manifestation of a single larval Cysticercus cyst which had become lodged in the fourth ventricle resulting in an obstructive hydrocephalus and a fatal course. The epidemiology of this disease traces the life cycle of the pork tapeworm from man, normally the definitive host, to the pig, the intermediate host. It is noteworthy that the disease cysticercosis in humans is a deviation from the parasite's normal life cycle in which man serves as the intermediate host. The literature is reviewed. The broad clinical spectrum of this disease's presentation can extend from a single headache to multiple nerve palsies and convulsions. The importance of radiographic evaluation complement fixation testing and CSF evaluation in making a diagnosis is stressed. There is no known medical treatment for this disease. Surgical procedures such as primary excision and shunts to relieve intracranial pressure have had mixed results. The prognosis depends on the location and the number of infesting larva. Special note is made of this disease's endemic status in Mexico and other Latin American countries and the role that this may play in medicine practiced in the southwest United States considering the ever-increasing immigration from this area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348948209100128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:35:41Z","timestamp":1412346941000},"page":"122-125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Case of Cysticercose Cerebri"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Steven J.","family":"Millen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Milwaukee, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jack L.","family":"Pulec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1982,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","first-page":"107","article-title":"Cysticercosis (Taenia solium): Further 10 years' clinical study covering 284 cases","volume":"13","author":"Dixon HBF","year":"1944","unstructured":"Dixon HBF, Hargreaves WH.
