    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Parasitology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Subretinal cysticercosis is a rare parasitic infection affecting the eye.
    • Accurate diagnosis and timely management are critical for visual preservation.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of subretinal cysticercosis are presented.
    • One case involved macular involvement with parasite migration during surgery.
    • The second case had peripheral involvement, aided by fluorescein angiography.

    Findings:

    • The macular case resulted in significant chorioretinal damage due to parasite migration.
    • Fluorescein angiography was instrumental in diagnosing the peripheral case.
    • The peripheral case had a successful surgical outcome.

    Implications:

    • This highlights the importance of considering cysticercosis in subretinal lesions.
    • Surgical techniques and diagnostic tools like fluorescein angiography are vital.
    • Successful management depends on early recognition and appropriate intervention.
