Abstract
[Objective:] To explore the clinicopathological characteristics of ocular cysticercosis. [Methods:] The clinical data, grossing and microscopic pathological changes of 7 cases of ocular cysticercosis were analyzed retrospectively. [Results:] In this study, the male-to-female ratio was 1∶6, the mean age was 24.7 (median age 20) years old. Of these patients, 3 patients presented with eyelid and periocular redness and swelling, 2 with blurred vision and decreased vision, 1 with diplopia, and 1 with conjunctival swelling and redness. In addition, 1 case was parasitized by cysticercus in the bulbar conjunctiva, 2 cases were in the eyeball and 4 cases were in the orbit. Cysticercus cellulosae containing calcareous corpuscle were observed in all cases, including 2 were accompanied by necroses with calcareous corpuscle. [Conclusion:] Ocular cysticercosis is found to be more common in female adolescents. Decreased vision is the main clinical symptom in intraocular infections, while orbital infections often show redness and swelling of eyelid and periocular. The finding of cysticercus and scolex in specimens is one of the confirmed diagnostic bases of ocular cysticercosis and calcareous corpuscles are important pathological diagnostic clues for this disease.
