Abstract
The orbital involvement of the cysticercosis is a rare manifestation involving eyelids, extraocular muscles, orbit, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, uvea, retina, vitreous and optic nerve. All the extraocular muscles are involved in myocysticercosis. Ultrasonography and Computed tomography are the imaging modalities for evaluation of orbital cysticercosis. The patients can be treated with systemic steroids and albendazole; however surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Hereby, we report an unusual case of orbital myocysticercosis with involvement of medial rectus muscle and swelling in the region of left medial canthus. 
Keywords : Cysticercosis, Tomography, Conjunctiva, Anterior Chamber, Albendazole, Retina.
