    Journal: Zhonghua Yan Ke Za Zhi; 1999 Mar; 35(2):129-31. PubMed ID: 11835792.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features, laboratory tests, medical imaging manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of orbital cysticercus cellulosae. METHODS: 23 cases of orbital cysticercus cellulosae were analyzed from 1973 to 1997. RESULTS: Most cases had features of exophthalmos, lid swelling, limitation of ocular movement. Some of them with visual loss, optic papilledema and orbital mass. B-scan ultrasonography revealed a cystic tumor and a strong echo spot with spontaneous movement. On CT scanning, found was a well-defined hyperdensity mass in which there was a low density area. On MRI, the signal intensity of T(1)WI of cystic fluid was low or moderate and of T(2)WI was high, while the signal intensity of T(1)WI and T(2)WI of surrounding scar tissue was still low. CONCLUSION: We can make diagnosis by imaging tests and treat them with surgical operations.
