Published: September 2023

A 20-year-old vegetarian male presented with a history of painful diminution of vision in the right eye for the past month. The patient had dense vitritis. B-scan ultrasonography (USG) revealed two cysts with scolices, one subretinally along with retinal detachment and another one in vitreous cavity. Orbital USG revealed no cystic lesions in the orbit or extraocular muscle. He underwent 23 gauge pars plana vitrectomy. Both intravitreal and subretinal cysts were cut and aspirated using cutter and removed from the eye, and silicon oil was injected. Postoperatively he was started on oral steroids and advised to maintain prone positioning for two weeks. At two months his best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the right eye was 20/125 with silicon oil in situ.
