Abstract
This article discusses a case of intraventricular neurocysticercosis in a 22-year-old female migrant from Honduras who arrived in Spain. The patient presented with symptoms such as headache, diplopia, and retroocular pain, and was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis based on radiological and microbiological criteria. The patient underwent surgery for the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and received pharmacological treatment. The article highlights the risk factors and prevalence of neurocysticercosis in rural or low-income areas, particularly in Honduras. [Extracted from the article]
