Cerebral cysticercosis is a parasitic disease prevalent throughout the world, the symptoms are variable, and cephalic convolutions are frequent. If hydrocephalus is present the treatment is a shunt that may cease to work if obstructed. We studied 72 patients with hydrocephalus secondary to cisticercosis to which a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was applied. If there is a buildup of excess protein in the CSF, the extra protein will slowly clog the valve. The shunt can also become blocked at the distal end due most frequently to high pressure or from similar protein buildup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
