چکیده
|
Cysticercosis is an infection caused by taenia solium whose larval stage (cysticerci) can affect various human tissues. in this study, we present the case of a 32-year-old male who presented with a neck swelling of 2 months duration. high resolution ultrasonography of neck showed features suggestive of cysticercosis of sternocleidomastoid muscle. he was managed conservatively with oral albendazole 400 mg twice daily for 4 weeks. review of the patient after 4 weeks showed complete resolution of the swelling and a repetitive ultrasonography did not show any evidence of cysticercosis. although a rare entity and isolated cysticercosis of skeletal muscle should come into consideration among the differential diagnoses of head and neck swellings.
