Eye swine cysticercosis

Cysticercus cellulosae, commonly known as the Bladder worm, is a larva of the chain-like tapeworm, the teania solium. The worm body is a white translucent sac, which is spherical or oval, with a diameter of about 5 to 8 mm. It is filled with transparent sac fluid, and the sac wall is composed of the outer cortex and the inner interstitial layer. The interstitial layer has an inwardly curled head segment that can be turned out when stimulated by bile. Cysticercus can invade various organs of the human body and cause corresponding lesions. When the eye is invaded, it is more in the eye than the orbit, the eye is found in the vitreous, and the eye is found in the extraocular muscles. Cysticercus parasitism can cause severe damage to eye tissue and visual function. Cysticercus cellulosae is the larval stage of Ascaris suum. Parasitizing in humans can cause cysticercosis, or cysticercosis. Porcine cysticercosis parasitizes in the eye and causes cysticercosis of the eye. If parasitic on the eyelid, it can be a painless and not red swelling mass. When parasitized in the conjunctiva, the conjunctiva is congested and edema with foreign body sensation. After the death of the worm in the eye, it is strongly stimulated by the decomposition of the worm's protein, and even causes extensive inflammation in the eye, with serious consequences. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely treatment are particularly important.
