摘要：

The authors report a case of degenerated intravitreal cysticercus cyst presenting as endogenous endophthalmitis, which has hitherto been unreported. A young adult presented with symptoms of chronic bilateral ocular inflammation, and was treated topically for endogenous endophthalmitis in the left eye. On dilated fundus examination the right eye was found to have a cystic structure in the inferior vitreous cavity. The cyst was removed by a three-port vitrectomy. On submitting the vitreous sample to histopathology it was confirmed to be degenerated cysticerus cyst with chronic inflammation.
