title: [Intravitreous cysticercosis. Spontaneous course. Apropos of a case].
abstract: We report a case of intravitreous cysticercosis in a 54-year-old woman from Madagascar. Since the patient refused surgical treatment, the lesion evolved toward blindness. The authors highlight the interest of surgical treatment and discuss the role of praziquantel which might increase local inflammatory reactions with subsequent severe damage.
