Abstract
Intramuscular cysticercosis is a rare entity and presents diagnostic dilemma due to uncommon presentation. We present a case report of an 8-month-old child with muscular cysticercosis who presented with fever and a swelling on the abdominal wall. Through thorough clinical examination, laboratory investigations, and imaging studies, the diagnosis of intramuscular cysticercosis was established. The patient received prompt treatment with anthelmintic drug, leading to successful management. This case emphasizes the importance of considering muscular cysticercosis as a differential diagnosis in infants presenting with atypical symptoms, expanding our understanding of the diverse clinical presentations of this uncommon condition in pediatric populations.
