RESUMO
Ocular cysticercosis is a serious condition with a potential for complete vision loss if left untreated. Intravitreal cysticercosis is the most common ocular form of cysticercosis and is associated with retinal detachment, retinal traction, subretinal scarring and vitritis. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report of the occurrence of a live intravitreal cysticercosis with a full thickness macular hole (FTMH) in the literature. We here report a case of live intravitreal cysticercosis with a FTMH along with its management and intraoperative optical coherence tomography features of the live cysticercus.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the leading cause of moderate vision loss in diabetics. Modalities to image and monitor DME have evolved much in the last decade. Systemic control is the most important part of management. Available ocular management options include intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents, laser, steroids (intravitreal or peribulbar), vitrectomy, topical medications and others. Anti-VEGF agents are increasingly being used in clinical practice with good clinical response and are currently the preferred mode of treatment worldwide.
