Patients aged from 12 to 49 and all of them received endoscopic resection of the third ventricle cysticercosis and orally taken Albendazole after surgery. Results The symptoms of high intracranial pressure in patients show different levels of releasing, except 1 case with postoperative fever symptoms, the other patients had no other palpable complications. After rechecked by CT and MRI, the size and shape of ventricle of all patients improved to varying degrees and hydrocephalus symptoms was relieved that all cases were satisfactory. Conclusions The treatment of neuroendoscopy aimed to the third ventricle cysticercosis is simple, safe and with less postoperative complications, which should be the preferred treatmnt to the third ventricle.
