“…In certain parasitic infestation, removal of the live worm is important because killing of these parasites by antimicrobial agents can incite severe intraocular inflammation and infection such as endophthalmitis. [122830] The authors have demonstrated a unique method of detecting the live parasites under the compound microscope objectives and documenting them digitally. The entire internal structures can be seen under background illumination by trained ocular pathologists and microbiologists, and immediate diagnosis can be communicated to the surgeons.…”

“…[29] Rarely, a degenerated cysticercus cyst with chronic inflammation may simulate intravitreal infection. [30] It can also present as fibrinous anterior uveitis with secondary glaucoma; the uveitis resolves with removal of the cyst. [31]…”

“…Our study showed that parasitic lesions can produce severe acute inflammation of the surrounding tissue which can masquerade an inflammatory mass[ 8 14 15 ] since most of the ocular signs are not specific and a high index of suspicion is required for clinical diagnosis. Careful search for the parasite should be done in all nodular and cystic lesions of the eye.…”
