  • Title: Management of subretinal and vitreous cysticercosis: role of photocoagulation and surgery.
    Author: Santos R, Dalma A, Ortiz E, Sanchez-Bulnes L.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1979 Aug; 86(8):1501-7. PubMed ID: 542252.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of intraocular cysticercosis requires selection of the proper method, prevention of complications, and careful follow-up. Small subretinal cysticercus can be treated with xenon or argon photocoagulation. Macular cysticercus are extracted through a sclerochoroidal incision. Large cysticercus can be removed in selected cases with an outcome probe placed in the subretinal space. Cysticercus in the vitreous should be removed with a suction-cutter probe via the pars plana.
