  • Title: Orbital cysticercosis.
    Author: Mukhija R, Agarwal D, Pujari A, Bajaj MS.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2018 Jun 08; 2018():. PubMed ID: 29884714.
    Abstract:
    A young male patient presented to our ocular emergency department with chief complaints of progressive pain, redness, diplopia and a right-sided face turn. Ocular examination revealed severely restricted extraocular movements along with retinal folds in the left eye. Initial orbital ultrasound and CT findings were equivocal; however, serology favoured an infective cause. Considering the endemicity of the disease and equivocal investigation findings, a diagnosis of orbital cysticercosis with an atypical presentation was made. The patient was managed medically with a combination of oral albendazole and steroids over a period of 6 weeks to achieve optimal results.
