Overview
Surgery is not the first line of treatment except in ocular cysticercosis and other certain cases of neurocysticercosis.
Surgery
Neurocysticercosis
- Surgical intervention is much more likely to be needed in cases of intraventricular, racemose, or spinal neurocysticercosis.
- Treatments includes direct excision of ventricular cysts, shunting procedures, and removal of cysts via endoscopy.
Ophthalmic cysticercosis
- In ophthalmic disease, surgical removal is necessary for cysts within the eye itself while antihelminth drugs with steroids alone might be sufficient to treat cysts outside globe.
Subcutaneous cysticercosis
- In general, subcutaneous disease does not need specific therapy. Painful or bothersome cysts can be surgically excised.
