Résumé
Primary orbital involvement is extremely rare in echinococcosis. We report a case of giant orbital hydatid cyst in a 15-year-old boy. A 15-year-old boy presented with left-side proptosis and gradual painless vision loss. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a giant multilocular cystic orbital lesion extending into subfrontal region. Surgical excision was done. Histopathology was suggestive of hydatid cyst. Postoperatively, an antiparasitic agent was administered for 3 months. Hydatic cyst should be kept in differential diagnosis of orbital cystic lesions, especially in pediatric population and endemic areas.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Primary orbital involvement is extremely rare in echinococcosis. We report a case of giant orbital hydatid cyst in a 15-year-old boy.
CASE DESCRIPTION
METHODS
A 15-year-old boy presented with left-side proptosis and gradual painless vision loss. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a giant multilocular cystic orbital lesion extending into subfrontal region. Surgical excision was done. Histopathology was suggestive of hydatid cyst. Postoperatively, an antiparasitic agent was administered for 3 months.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Hydatic cyst should be kept in differential diagnosis of orbital cystic lesions, especially in pediatric population and endemic areas.
