Fourth ventricular cysts in patients with neurocysticercosis are generally solitary without accompanying parenchymal cysts and hence present with hydrocephalic symptoms at the time of implantation. We report a patient with status migrainosus‐like presentation in whom the neurological examination was normal and the diagnosis was made by imaging (CT and MRI scan).
