Disseminated cysticercosis is a rare form of cysticercosis in which the cysticerci spread throughout the body. We describe the case of a seven-year-old child with disseminated cysticercosis. He presented with a one month history of swelling of the whole body, unable to walk for one month and swelling of both eyes for 20 days. After extensive investigation from superficial musculoskeletal ultrasound B-scan of eye, brain computed tomography, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), whole body MRI and pathologic biopsy, the child was diagnosed as having cysticercosis involving the brain, retina and skeletal muscles throughout the whole body.
