Abstract
Cysticercosis refers to human infection with the larval form of the nematode, Taenia solium due to the ingestion of contaminated food especially undercooked pork, contaminated water and vegetables. It is commonly seen in places with poor sanitation. Here we present the varied clinical manifestations with which orbital cysticercosis can present in the paediatric age group and its successful management.
