• Orbital cysticercosis with both ocular and extraocular involvement is common in endemic areas. The presence of scolex is considered diagnostic of cysticercosis. We sought to compare multi-slice CT and 3D steady state MR in the identification of scolex in orbital cysticercosis. Three patients with orbital cysticercosis (two extra-ocular, one ocular) were studied using multi-slice CT with thin coronal and sagittal reformations and 3D steady state MR (CISS 3D — Constructive Interference in Steady State) sequence.
