title: Smart phone as an adjunctive imaging tool to visualize scolex in orbital myocysticercosis.
abstract: Orbital myocysticercosis is a helminthic infestation with variable clinical presentations. Computed tomography is considered gold standard in orbital imaging. Evaluation of computed tomography films in out-patient departments (OPD) is important in the management of orbital diseases. In this case report, we highlight the use of a smart phone as an aid in OPD for studying computed tomography images in identifying a small cysticercus cyst of the superior rectus muscle, which was invisible on naked eye examination.
