Abstract
BACKGROUND
We report on a case of orbital cysticercosis in a 27-year-old Burmese man who presented with an orbital swelling 7 months after arriving in Australia.
METHODS
The presenting history and findings are reviewed and treatment options are discussed. A brief review of the life cycle of the tapeworm Taenia solium is provided.
RESULTS
The orbital lesion was successfully treated by surgical excision.
CONCLUSION
Cysticercosis should not be forgotten as a possible cause of unusual orbital lesions.
