Retinal Cysticerci- A contraindication for Albendazole Therapy
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of the nervous system especially, in the Indian sub-continent. The disease manifests when humans become the intermediate host in the life cycle of Taenia solium by ingesting its eggs from contaminated food. Retinal cysticercosis is a dangerous situation where vision will be compromised. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment in place of anti-parasitic medication. We are reporting a case of multiple cysticerci in the brain parenchyma and a single cyst in subretinal space to highlight the association and treatment decision to prevent visual loss.
