Abstract
We are presenting an eight year old boy with localised intramuscular neck swelling of the right sterno-cleido-mastoid (SCM) with minimal tenderness which was found to contain scolex of cysticercus parasite (Myo-cysticercosis) with concomitant asymptomatic involvement of multiple parenchymal ring enhancing lesions of the brain consistent with Neuro-cysticercosis in various stages of its development. We highlight the importance of screening of the brain in patients with intramuscular swellings of recent origin.
