    Abstract:
    Human cysticercosis is an emerging infection caused by the larvae of Taenia solium (Cysticercus cellulosae). The most common sites for cysticercosis are the central nervous system, subcutaneous tissues, eyes, and muscles. Isolated intramuscular cysticercosis without brain involvement is rare and only a few reports are available in children. Here, we report two children with isolated intramuscular cysticercosis who presented with the swellings that were diagnosed by ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration cytology. Both of them responded well to steroids and albendazole treatment, showing a complete resolution of the swelling. İnsan sistiserkozu, Taenia solium larvaları (Cysticercus cellulosae) nedeniyle ortaya çıkan bir enfeksiyondur. Sistiserkoz için en sık görülen bölgeler merkezi sinir sistemi, deri altı dokular, gözler ve kaslardır. Beyin tutulumu olmaksızın izole intramusküler sistiserkoz nadirdir ve çocuklarda sadece birkaç olgu raporu mevcuttur. Biz burada, şişliklerle başvuran, ultrasonografi ve ince iğne aspirasyon sitolojisi ile teşhis edilen izole intramusküler sistiserkozlu iki çocuğu sunuyoruz. Her ikisi de iyi seyretmiş, steroid ve albendazole iyi yanıt vererek şişlik tamamen çözülmüştür.
