Abstract

Retinal cyst is not a rare entity. It may occur in isolation or in association with diverse retinal pathologies. It may be developmental in origin or acquired. Developmental or congenital retinal cysts are uncommon. Among acquired, parasitic cysts of retina, especially cysticercosis, are relatively common in countries of South-East Asia and South America. Retinal cysts are of great clinical importance because they can lead to serious visual impairment or even to irretrievable blindness. In the present chapter a brief description of etiology, diagnosis and management of various types of retinal cysts is presented.
