Anterior segment optical coherence tomography of live ocular cysticercosis

Sodium-Hyaluronate Cystic-like Lesion in the Anterior Chamber Following Cataract Surgery: A Case Report

“…In our case, lack of the pigmentation of the inner wall (1) made the diagnosis of an iris cyst less probable (6), as well as its appearance on OCT imaging, presenting as an equally hyperreflective lesion, internally and externally, with typical OCT findings of hyperreflective walls and hypo-reflective internal structure being the most common (7)(8). On the other hand, cysticercosis cysts show characteristic contracting and expanding movements with the presence of a live scolex as a dense white spot (9). Histopathological examination confirmed sodium-hyaluronate, which, to our knowledge, is the first incident to be reported and should be taken into consideration as a rare complication in an otherwise uncomplicated phacoemulsification.…”

Modified intraocular lens injector assisted rescue technique for failed viscoexpression in a case of intracameral cysticercosis

“…Posterior segment involvement is the more frequent site. [ 1 2 3 4 ] The presence of live intracameral parasitic is a rare condition. The most favored technique of extracting the cyst from the anterior chamber is viscoexpression, in which viscoelastic is injected in the anterior chamber followed by subsequent methodic decompression leading to extrusion of the cyst in a gush of leaking viscoelastic.…”
