The patients may be asymptomatic in early stage of the disease but it results in gradual loss of vision with or without pain, depending upon the location of the lodged larva.…”

“…Intra orbital and intra ocular cysticercosis are however uncommon as compared to involvement of neural and muscle tissue [1]. The commonest clinical presentation is subconjunctival cyst or proptosis in patients, mostly from poor socioeconomic status [2,4]. In most studies higher incidence of orbital cysticercosis is reported in first two decades of life with male predominance [3,6].…”
