[Intravitreous cystercercosis, a rare imported pathology. Apropos of a case]

The authors report the observation of a 50 years old Madagascan woman who has been evacuated to France because of a blindness in her right eye. This disease is progressively complete after six months, and the intra-vitrious cysticercosis is diagnosed following a patient, minutely detailed and daily observation through the biomicroscope during four consecutive days. The surgical operation allows the cryo extraction of the vesicle of Cysticercus cellulosae which is not touched. This observation gives rise to recall epidemiologic chain of affectedness, the frequency of eye locations, the differential diagnosis for the other larva cestodosis and at last the prophylatic basic measures to make in the endemic areas.
