Macular and peripheral subretinal cysticercosis.
We describe two cases of subretinal cysticercosis. In the macular case the parasite was easily recognized, but it migrated to the vitreous cavity during the surgical scleral procedure leaving behind great chorioretinal damage. In the peripheral case fluorescein angiography contributed to the diagnosis, and the surgical approach was easy and successful.
