In-toto removal of a subretinal Cysticercus cellulosae by pars plana vitrectomy.
A case of subretinal cysticercosis was treated with laser coagulations round the cyst prior to surgery. In-toto removal of the living cysticercus was performed by pars plana vitrectomy. Two weeks after surgery 25/20 vision was regained. Histopathology of the cyst confirmed the clinical diagnosis.
