Managing cysticercosis in anterior chamber of eye: a case report.
Cysticercosis in anterior chamber (AC) is rarer than in other ocular sites. And it is usually associated with plastic iridocyclitis. We report herein a case of a live cyst in the AC. The cyst was removed intact through limbal incision by visco expression technique. Histopathology confirmed cysticercosis cellulosae as the infecting agent. Timely removal of cyst can save the eye from severe plastic iritis.
