All the extraocular muscles are involved in myocysticercosis. Ultrasonography and Computed tomography are the imaging modalities for evaluation of ocular cysticercosis. The patients can be treated with systemic steroids and albendazole; however surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a rare case of extraocular myocysticercosis in nine years old boy diagnosed on ultrasonography and computed tomography.https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/AJMS/article/view/8163extraocular myocysticercosissuperior rectuslevator palpebrae superioriscomputed tomographyultrasonography
