“…Typically, an orbital hydatid cyst is unilateral and occurs with or without hydatid cysts located elsewhere in the body. The most frequent clinical fi ndings are proptosis, chemosis, lid edema, visual impairment, and restriction of extraocular motility [3]. In the present case patient presented with gradual proptosis with loss of vision but no chemosis or restriction of extraocular mobility was found.…”

We present a rare case of cystic hydatid disease of orbit and its endoscopic management. A 35-year-old female patient presented with unilateral progressive nonpulsatile proptosis of the right eye. Ophthalmological examination revealed proptosis of right eye with complete visual loss. Hydatid cyst of the orbit is a rare cause of proptosis, which can be safely managed endonasally in selected cases and by albendazole chemotherapy.

“…It may be unilocular or multilocular. Orbital hydatid is rare manifestation of hydatid disease, and represents 0.3% -1% of all cases [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Orbital hydatid can be primary or secondary depending on whether it is the only manifestation or a part of disseminated hydatidosis [8,9].…”

“…Orbital Hydatid cyst is rare manifestation of echinococcal infestation. It represents 1% -2% of all hydatid disease and less than 0.3% -1% of all intraorbital lesions, however, the percentage is quite high in some endemic regions of the world [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Here, we report a case of orbital hydatid cyst diagnosed by MRI findings in correlation with MRI Spectroscopy and confirmed by post-operative histopathological analysis.…”

Hydatid disease is one of the common parasitic infestations in many parts of the world with involvement of any organ inside the human body. Ocular hydatid cyst is one of such locations and is a relatively rare entity. However, with the help of MRI imaging and super added benefit of MRI Spectroscopy, the diagnosis of hydatid cyst can be reached to with great confidence, which dictates the proper line of management in such patients.
