Cysticercosis is an infection caused by the accidental ingestion of eggs of Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) by humans leading to the formation of larvae in humans and the migration to multiple organs with subsequent cyst formation. This video shows the successful in-toto removal of subretinal cysticercosis via pars plana vitrectomy.
