Cysticercosis, caused by Taenia solium larva is a major public health problem especially in developing  world. In this unusual form of infection man becomes the intermediate host. The encysted larval stage commonly infests brain, but muscles and subcutaneous tissues are also often affected. High resolution ultrasonography is diagnostic for subcutaneous or intramuscular cysticercosis.Here we present a rare case of anterior abdominal wall cysticercosis.

Cysticercosis, a parasitic disease caused by Taenia solium larva, is a major public health problem in developing countries. The encysted larval stage can affect any part of the body, but are most frequently detected in brain, eye, skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissues. Isolated cysticercosis of the abdominal wall can rarely mimic acute abdomen due to its nonspecific clinical presentation. We report a case of isolated cysticercosis of the right lower abdominal wall in a 25-year-old female who presented with acute abdominal pain mimicking clinically as acute appendicitis. High resolution ultrasonography showed typical features of cysticercosis in the abdominal wall and the patient had excellent clinical response to albendazole.

Ingestion of corrosive substances and chronic sequelae associated with it is the major public health problem in the developing countries. The most severe forms of injury can lead to mortality; however, the major concern with this type of injury in life-long morbidity. Colonic conduit for bypassing diseased oesophagus with distal anastomosis with stomach is well documented and practiced procedure. Authors have encountered a case of 21-year-old lady with corrosive injuries to oesophagus and stomach, later developed non dilatable oesophageal stricture with completely cicatrised and adherent stomach. Due to unavailability of stomach, authors have used colon as a conduit and colo-jejunal anastomosis bypassing the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum. Colo-jejunal anastomosis for chronic corrosive oesophageal stricture is not commonly practiced procedure which makes this case a rare one.
