Managing cysticercosis in anterior chamber of eye: A case report
Shariq SM, Adhikari BP


Abstract:

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.
