Managing Anterior Chamber Cysticercosis by Viscoexpression: A New Surgical Technique

Ocular cysticercosis of the anterior segment

“…[2][3][4] In contrast, our patient presented with severe anterior uveitis associated with enlargement of a cysticercal cyst in the anterior chamber.…”

Chemo‐paralysis for the removal of a live intraocular worm in ocular angiostrongyliasis

“…Because of the small size and delicate structure and vigorous motility of the worm, techniques like the use of capsule forceps, cryoextraction, and viscoexpression 7 (described in the literature to remove cysticercus cysts from the AC) could not be used in the present case without either damage to or loss of the worm. The lidocaine thus aided in easy removal of the paralysed worm.…”

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

“…Single incision (3.2 mm) using keratome is made and the anterior chamber is filled with hydroxymethyl cellulose. [ 8 ] The posterior lip of the incision is pressed and cyst is guided toward the incision. It is surprising that even a large cyst easily squeezes through the incision (3.2 mm) without getting ruptured.…”
