Abstract
Ocular adnexal infestation with Taenia Solium, a relatively uncommon condition in the west, appears to be more common in the developing world. Traditional management in these cases has been surgery. Medical therapy using praziquantel and albendazole [1], found to be highly effective in neurocysticercosis, is now gaining wide popularity in the management of orbital myocysticercosis [2–4]. With the advent of this mode of management, the role of orbital imaging in diagnosis and follow up of these cases has gained importance. A prospective study was therefore conducted to evaluate the role of orbital B scan ultrasonography in monitoring the regression of orbital myocysticercosis in patients undergoing medical treatment for this condition.
