  • Title: Disseminated cysticercosis involving orbit, brain and subcutaneous tissue.
    Author: Pushker N, Bajaj MS, Balasubramanya R.
    Journal: J Infect; 2005 Dec; 51(5):e245-8. PubMed ID: 15904962.
    Abstract:
    Human cysticercosis is caused by dissemination of embryos of Taenia solium from the intestine via the hepatoportal system to the tissues and organs of the body. We report, probably the first case, where orbital cysticercosis was associated with multiple Cysticercus cellulosae cysts in the brain and subcutaneous tissue. Thorough screening for all the sites of involvement by the cyst is extremely useful for knowing the extent of dissemination, infection control, and for epidemiological purposes.
