Abstract
Cysticercosis is a condition which occurs when humans are infested by larvae of Taenia solium. It is a cause of increasing health burden in developing countries. Neurocysticercosis is a common clinical presentation of this condition. Here we present a case of an 11 year old patient who presented to us with a neck swelling. On exploration, excision and histopathological examination it was found to be a case of cysticercosis. An elaborate clinical evaluation was done to rule out any other lesion elsewhere in the body. This was hence found to be a case of isolated cysticercosis of the digastric muscle which is hereby reported for its rarity.
