ABSTRACT
Cysticercus cellulosae occurs worldwide, mainly in poor regions with insufficient sanitary conditions. Ocular cysticercosis develops from Taenia solium larvae in ocular structures. The eye could be the prime location for such parasitic infection because of its rich vascularization and almost all structures such as orbit, extraocular muscles, conjunctiva, anterior segment, and posterior segment can be involved. Diagnosis is usually made on history, clinical examination, radiological findings, and histopathology. We report a case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with a subconjunctival cyst. It was diagnosed as implantation cyst based on history and clinical findings. Complete surgical excision was done. On histopathological examination, ocular cysticercosis was confirmed. The patient was given oral albendazole and prednisolone, post-operatively. The ocular cysticercosis is an oft-reported problem in North India. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Inaccessible cysts are best treated with oral albendazole along with prednisolone.
