title: Unifocal, subconjunctival twin cysticercosis cysts.
abstract: We report a case of multiple, unifocal, subconjunctival cysticercosis in an 8-year-old boy. Two cysts, each with a scolex, were in the subconjunctival space. They were removed surgically, and histopathologically proven to be Cysticercus cellulosae. This is only the second report of twin cysticercus in the literature, to the best of our knowledge.
