Cysticercosis is caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium (Pork tape worm). Humans are the definitive hosts where the life cycle is completed and pig is the intermediate host. Incidence in India varies from 2-38% based on the consumption of pork, general hygiene and socio-economic status of the population. The parasite on reaching the small intestine encysts itself in various tissues. Most commonly Brain, Eyes, subcutaneous tissue. Intravitreal cyst is the commonest intra ocular presentation. Death of the parasite and release of the contents of the cyst causes an intense inflammatory reaction that can be devastating. We report the condition in a nine-year-old boy who presented with mild right upper lid swelling wherein cysticercus cellulosae cyst was found within the mass of the right lateral rectus muscle. It becomes important to report this case because of the unusual site of the cyst which masqueraded as a lipo-dermoid.

Equitable access to safe abortion is part of the corpus of human rights. Providing women with access to safe abortion means protection and realization of one of their fundamental human rights. However, around the world, even nowadays, women face not only legal obstacles, but as well stigmatization and conviction against fulfillment of the right to abortion. In North Macedonia there a multiple type of barriers and large inequalities related to the accessibility and availability of reproductive healthcare services. Women with low socio-economic status are mostly affected. The need for contraception has not been met and reproductive healthcare services are unevenly distributed across the country.

A battery of six tests assessing various aspects of receptive and expressive oral language was administered to 27 cerebral palsied children and controls matched on the variables of age, intelligence, sex, race, hearing acuity, socio-economic status, and similarity of educational background. Results indicated only minimal differences between groups. Signs of deviancy in language behavior often attributed to the cerebral palsied were not observed. Although previous investigators have suggested consistent language disturbances in the cerebral palsied, evidence for a disorder of comprehension and formulation of oral symobls was not found.
