Abstract
Spontaneous extrusion of a subconjunctival cysticercus cyst is a rare occurrence. The case reported is of a 20-year-old man who presented with a subconjunctival cysticercus cyst that was suspected to be undergoing spontaneous extrusion. The eye was photographed as the parasite extruded through the conjunctival opening with undulating movements over 3-4 min.
