A 24-year-old East Indian woman presented with an inflammatory swelling in the supranasal quadrant of the left orbit and vertical diplopia. The motility disorder was of typical acquired Brown's syndrome. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed Cysticercus cellulosae, a parasitic cyst known to produce a severe inflammatory reaction. To our knowledge this is the first report of acquired inflammatory Brown's syndrome caused by cysticercosis.
