Ocular myocysticercosis is rare and a high index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis.
To describe clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of ocular myocysticercosis.
We describe a series of three patients who had different clinical presentations of ocular myocysticerocosis namely diplopia, restricted ocular motility and sub-conjunctival cyst. The treatment with oral albendazole and prednisolone was effective in all three cases.
Favorable outcomes can be achieved with a high index of suspicion, early diagnosis and treatment with oral albendazole and prednisolone in patients with ocular myocysticercosis.
