    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Parasitology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Subretinal cysticercosis is a rare parasitic infection of the eye.
    • Accurate diagnosis can be challenging due to potential false-negative serological tests.

    Observation:

    • A 73-year-old female presented with blurred vision in her left eye.
    • Multiple diagnostic tests, including serology and stool examination, were negative.
    • Neurocysticercosis was excluded via clinical and radiological assessment.

    Findings:

    • Despite negative diagnostic workup, subretinal cysticercosis was confirmed.
    • The patient refused praziquantel treatment for the tapeworm infection.

    Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering cysticercosis even with inconclusive serology.
  • Laser photocoagulation offers an alternative treatment for ocular cysticercosis when medication is not feasible.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preserving vision in cases of ocular parasitism.
