Doença ocular, causada por uma infecção de tecido por cistos larvais do verme parasita Taenia solium. Esta doença é caracterizada por cistos que flutuam no humor vítreo do olho, causando comprometimento de visão. A transmissão ocorre por disseminação hematogênica de larvas para o olho após a ingestão de ovos de Taenia solium em alimentos ou água contaminados. A confirmação é comumente feita pela história de viagens a regiões endêmicas do parasita e exames avançados de imagem do olho. | |||
