Abstract:The orbital involvement of the cysticercosis is a rare manifestation involving eyelids, extraocular muscles, orbit, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, uvea, retina, vitreous and optic nerve. All the extraocular muscles are involved in myocysticercosis. Ultrasonography and Computed tomography are the imaging modalities for evaluation of orbital cysticercosis. The patients can be treated with systemic steroids and albendazole; however surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Hereby, we report an unusual case of orbital myocysticercosis with involvement of medial rectus muscle and swelling in the region of left medial canthus.

Abstract:Fibrolipomas of the filum terminale are embryonic in origin and are seen on MR images as small areas of fatty tissue along the filum terminale. These lipomas may result from faulty retrogressive differentiation. Though the lesions are frequently asymptomatic, fibrolipomas are a known cause of cord tethering and the tight filum syndrome. We present a case of isolated fibrolipoma of the filum terminale in an adult male which was detected incidentally on MRI done for evaluation of disc herniation.
