Disseminated cysticercosis with multiple bilateral orbital cysts.
The authors report 2 cases of cysticercosis with widespread involvement of both orbits and subcutaneous tissue and muscles of the head, face, and neck. These cases highlight the severity of orbital involvement in patients with disseminated disease without signs of orbital infection. To the best of our knowledge, such an extensive involvement of both orbits has never been reported.
