We have described a case of cysticercosis in the vitreous chamber of the left eye of a 16-year-old female student. The patient had presented with marked loss of visual acuity of about two months duration, but there were no other clinical signs and no evidence of intestinal taeniasis. The initial response to chemotherapy with praziquantel was good, but the patient defaulted treatment and when seen again, there was an indication of increased inflammatory responses in the eye. A vitrectomy was carried out to remove the cysticercus and associated fibrous strands. When last seen, the patient was well with improvement of vision.
我们描述了一例发生在一名16岁女学生左眼玻璃体内的囊尾蚴病病例。患者出现明显视力下降约两个月，但无其他临床体征，也没有肠道绦虫病的证据。最初使用吡喹酮进行化疗的反应良好，但患者中断了治疗，再次就诊时，眼部有炎症反应加重的迹象。进行了玻璃体切除术以清除囊尾蚴和相关的纤维条索。最后一次见到患者时，她情况良好，视力有所改善。
