Ocular myocysticercosis: favorable outcomes with early diagnosis and appropriate therapy.

BACKGROUND Ocular myocysticercosis is rare and a high index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis. OBJECTIVE To describe clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of ocular myocysticercosis. CASES 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. CONCLUSION 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.
