Saurabh Singh Jareda*, Tanmay Srivastav, Madhvendra Singh Ahirwar and Kirti Verma

ABSTRACT

Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic disease caused by the larval form of cestode Taenia solium. It has a worldwide distribution and is potentially harmful with variable clinical manifestations. The most commonly involved sites include eye, brain, bladder wall, and heart. Ocular cysticercosis can be extraocular or intraocular and may present with varied clinical symptoms. We report the condition in a 24 year young male who presented with drooping of right upper lid since 1 year, wherein cysticercus cellulosae cyst was found within the mass of the right superior rectus muscle. It becomes important to report this case because of the relative rarity of the condition these days, unusual site of the cyst and the young age of the patient.
