Management of intra-vitreal cysticercosis.

BACKGROUND
south east Asia is an endemic zone for cysticercosis. Oocular cysticercosis is emerging as a common problem which if untreated can lead to severe visual loss in 3-5 years.


CASES
we describe here a case series of three patients with intravitreal cysticercosis and managed by surgical cyst removal by pars plana vitrectomy.


OBSERVATION
the procedure was successful in all cases to maintain anatomical integrity of the globe with some functional gain of vision.


CONCLUSION
surgical intervention in ocular intravitreal cysticercosis is an acceptable approach with good results.
