Orbital cysticercosis: diagnosis and treatment controversies
Pediatr Infect Dis J.
2007 Feb.
Abstract
Orbital cysticercosis is a rare condition and its management is controversial. We report 2 cases of orbital cellulitis associated with cysticercosis in which the treatment with antihelminthics was withheld. The 2 children had good evolution with spontaneous progressive resolution. The current literature is reviewed.
