Abstract

This video presents a case of submacular cysticercosis in a 25-year-old man, managed successfully with 25 G vitrectomy. The condition involves the subretinal presence of cysts caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia solium. The video highlights the importance of precision and caution in removal of the intact cyst, without any significant collateral damage to the surrounding tissue. The video also demonstrates the management of a coexisting macular hole.
