case_images: It was initially small in size (Fig. 1a) and gradually increased since last 1 year (Fig. 1b). To our surprise, CECT revealed a hyperdense nidus approximately 10 x 9 mm in a hypodense cystic lesion over the nasal bridge on the right side extending over the medial orbital rim, suggestive of cysticercosis (Fig. 1c). H/P revealed a cystic cavity with irregularly shaped membranous infolding along with the scolex of cysticercosis larvae, surrounded by a well-defined cyst wall containing mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate (Fig. 1).
