| dc.description.abstract | Abstract We here present a rare case of disseminated cysticercosis presented with clouding of cornea with gradual loss of vision in the right eye and multiple nodules all over the body. Opthalmologic evaluation revealed none perception of light on right eye with calcified cyst in entire intraocular lens. MRI of the brain showed starry sky pattern in brain parenchyma and multiple calcified cysts in the orbit. Serological test (ELISA) for cysticercal IgG antibodies was positive. Histopathology report on an excised biopsy from subcutaneous nodule also showed calcified cyst. She was treated initially with steroid for 3 days followed by albendazole for 2 weeks. MRI was repeated after 3 months which showed no resolution of the lesion. Later she presented with generalized seizure managed with anticonvulsant. Keywords: cysticercosis, calcified cyst | |
