Abstract
Ocular involvement with or without brain involvement is common in Cysticercosis but isolated Cysticercus cellulosae of medial rectus muscle is very rare. Herein we are presenting a case of isolated cysticercosis of medial rectus in young male which was diagnosed on radiology and responded well to albendazole and predinisolone.References
