Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic disease caused by the larval form of cestode Taenia solium. It has a worldwide distribution and is potentially harmful with variable clinical manifestations. The most commonly involved sites include eye, brain, bladder wall, and heart. Ocular cysticercosis can be extraocular or intraocular and may present with varied clinical symptoms. We report the condition in a thirteen year old female child who presented with mild lower lid swelling and diplopia in upgaze, wherein cysticercus cellulosae cyst was found within the mass of the right inferior rectus muscle. It becomes important to report this case because of the relative rarity of the condition these days, unusual site of the cyst and the young age of the patient.
囊尾蚴病是由绦虫猪带绦虫的幼虫形式引起的一种全身性寄生虫病。它在全球范围内分布，具有潜在危害，临床表现多样。最常受累的部位包括眼睛、大脑、膀胱壁和心脏。眼囊尾蚴病可位于眼外或眼内，可能表现出各种临床症状。我们报告了一名13岁女童的病例，她表现为下睑轻度肿胀，向上注视时出现复视，在右眼下直肌肿块内发现了猪囊尾蚴囊肿。由于目前这种情况相对罕见、囊肿位置不寻常以及患者年龄较小，报告此病例具有重要意义。
