Four cases of the oedematous forme of neurocysticercosis are reported. This forme is relativelly rare and caracterized by symptons of intracranial hypertension and severe bilateral papiloedema. Focal convulsive disorders are common. CSF studies show positive reaction for cysticercosis and ventriculography, the presence of small, narrowed lateral ventricles. Treatment based on ACTH and dexametasone revelead good evolution as far as intracranial hvpertension is concerned, not requering surgical decompression as used before.
