Vitreous cysticercosis

Cysticercus cellulosae cysticercus cysticercaria enters the subretinal with blood flow through the choroidal vessels, and then enters the vitreous body to form vitreous cysticercus cellulosae. The pathogenesis is that after the patient ingests pork containing unkilled roundworm eggs, the shell of the roundworm eggs is digested by the duodenal fluid. And form cysticercus. Cysticercus cellulosae can be parasitic to any part of the eye, most commonly in the vitreous.
