Background:

Subconjunctival Cysticercus cellulosae is a rare parasitic infestation of the eye.
Cysticercosis, caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium, can affect various tissues, including ocular structures.

Observation:

Two distinct cases of subconjunctival Cysticercus cellulosae are presented.
In the first case, the cyst was located in the lower fornix of the conjunctiva.
In the second case, the cyst was observed in the medial canthus.

Findings:

The clinical presentation of subconjunctival cysticercosis can vary depending on the cyst's location.
These findings highlight the importance of considering parasitic etiologies in ocular presentations.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis and prompt management are crucial for preventing vision impairment associated with ocular cysticercosis.
Further research and awareness are needed to improve the understanding and treatment of this rare condition.
