Abstract

101-103 The authors have recently experienced a case of subretinal cysticercosis which simulated choroidal melanoma. Although it is benign variety, the eye was enucleated since the lesion was in the macular area and the patient was thought not to be able to gain an useful central vision after treatment. In the review of the literatures, the subretinal cysticercosis seems to occur much more frequently than the other ocular cysticercosis and it is very hard to get an exact diagnosis. The surgical removal may be difficult in procedure and the prognoses are poor in the cases of macular invorvement.
