Overview

Surgery is not the first line of treatment except in ocular cysticercosis and other certain cases of neurocysticercosis.

Surgery

Neurocysticercosis

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.
