Purpose: To report a case of fibrinous anterior uveitis due to cysticercus cellulosae in anterior chamber.
Design: Retrospective, interventional case study.
Methods: Patient underwent complete ophthalmic and systemic evaluation with relevant investigations. Viscoexpression of anterior chamber cysts were done under general anaesthesia.
Results: A 10-year-old male child presented as unilateral fibrinous iridocylitis with secondary glaucoma. Two cysts of cysticercus cellulosae were seen after control of inflammation. Complete resolution of uveitis occurred once the cysts were removed by viscoexpression.
Conclusion: Cysticercus cellulosae can present as fibrinous anterior uveitis with secondary glaucoma. Removal of the cyst can cause complete resolution of uveitis.
