case_images: The magnetic resonance imaging depicts multiple loculated masses around the right lateral ventricle and third ventricle (red arrow). (a and b) Contrast-enhanced (a) axial and (b) coronal T1-weighted images. (c and d) (c) Axial and (d) coronal T2-weighted images revealing similar intensity between the mass and cerebrospinal fluid.

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in T1- and T2-weighted images revealed multiple loculated masses around the right lateral ventricle, third ventricle, and fourth ventricle [Figures 1a-d].
case_images: The magnetic resonance imaging reveals multiple masses located within both lateral ventricles (red arrow). (a and b) Contrast-enhanced (a) axial and (b) coronal T1-weighted images. (c) Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image showing similar intensity between the mass and cerebrospinal fluid.

case_images: MRI in T1- and T2-weighted images revealed multiple masses concentrated around both sides of the lateral ventricle [Figures 2a-c].
case_images: Intraoperative view. (a, b, c) Intraoperative features during the transcallosal interhemispheric approach in Patient 1. (d and e) Intraoperative features during the transcallosal interhemispheric approach in Patient 2.

case_images: Following entry into the ventricle, all masses were identified and resected [Figures 3a-e].
case_images: Histopathological features. (a) The microscopic appearance displays a vesicular cyst wall (thin arrow) and reticular layer (thick arrow). (b), The panel exhibits numerous mummified dead larvae (thin arrow). (c and d) The microscopic appearance illustrates the cellular layer (red arrow), reticular layer (blue arrow), and cuticular layer (yellow arrow) (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; x100 and x400 magnification).

case_images: Microscopically, both specimens were characterized by a vesicular cyst wall and a reticular layer [Figures 4a-d]. Within the reticular layer, excretory canaliculi containing fungal fibers were observed [Figures 4c and d].
