The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of varying endocryocoagulation parameters on retinal function and histological integrity in a rabbit model and to assess the feasibility of intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal using a 20G cryoprobe. Twenty-seven adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to three experimental groups (n = 9 per group). Endocryocoagulation was administered with a 20G cryoprobe under different conditions: Group An underwent vitreous cavity freezing for 5 s; Group B underwent retinal surface freezing for 5 s; and Group C underwent vitreous cavity freezing for 10 s.

Department of Uvea Services, Aravind Eye Hospital, Noombal, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Background: Intraocular gnathostomiasis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of Gnathostoma spinigerum infection. Ingested larvae from undercooked meat[1] can migrate to various body parts, causing significant morbidity. Intralenticular localization-where the larva is embedded within the crystalline lens-is extremely unique, with this video documenting the first reported global case.
