Ocular cysticercosis, a parasitic infection of the eye, can threaten vision. This study details successful removal of a submacular cysticercus cyst, improving visual acuity.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Parasitology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Ocular cysticercosis involves parasitic cysts within various eye structures, posing a risk to vision.
Intraocular cyst removal is crucial to prevent inflammation and preserve visual function.
Submacular cysticercosis presents unique management challenges due to the critical location.

Observation:

A case of ocular cysticercosis with a live cysticercus cyst located beneath the macula was identified.
The cyst was successfully removed in its entirety (in-toto).
Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) was utilized to assess the condition and postoperative changes.

Findings:

Complete removal of the submacular cysticercus cyst was achieved.
The patient experienced a significant and favorable gain in visual acuity post-surgery.

Keywords:

Submacular cysticercosis internal limiting membrane peeling

SS-OCT provided detailed imaging of the cyst and its impact on macular structures.

Implications:

This case highlights a successful surgical strategy for managing challenging submacular cysticercosis.
Complete cyst excision is vital for visual recovery in ocular cysticercosis.
SS-OCT is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring ocular cysticercosis, particularly in the macular region.
