| Popis: | Orbital cysticercosis is secondary to an infestation by cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of Taenia solium.Orbital cysticercosis may present with a wide spectrum of clinical findings and result in significant ocular morbidity. Although traditionally thought to be only prevalent in endemic regions with poor sanitation, immigration requires even ophthalmologists practicing in industrialised counties to be aware of this masquerading condition's presentation and treatment.We report the clinical manifestation of a case of orbital cysticersosis that presented with recurrent orbital inflammation for almost a year. We also present a literature review of the different ocular manifestations, diagnostic and treatment modalities. |
