“…Hydatid cyst, which transilluminates brilliantly like dacryops, could be excluded on the ground of history of fluctuation in size, bluish hue, and ultrasonography. Ultrasonography shows characteristic double-wall sign and no internal reflectivity but echogenic sandlike materials in the dependent part of hydatid cyst 3. Although positive fluctuation could distinguish the cystic nature of the lesion in the present case, positive transillumination test established the clear content of the cyst.…”

“…In 5 (11.9 %) cases, the mass was completely cystic with very low internal reflectivity. One of these cases that were purely cystic showed a double wall sign that has been characteristically described for hydatid cyst [9].…”

The aim of the study was to study the clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics of orbital schwannomas. It is a retrospective study conducted at a tertiary eye care hospital. A review of histopathological records of the orbital tumors operated between 1993 and 2011 was done. The clinical, imaging and histopathological details of cases of orbital schwannoma were analyzed. Forty-nine cases of orbital schwannomas identified. The age ranged from 8 to 65 years with a female preponderance. The median duration of symptoms was 3 years. Computed tomography findings varied from a hypodense to hyperdense lesion with nil to marked contrast enhancement. USG demonstrated a defined lesion with variable internal reflectivity. Varied proportions of Antoni A and Antoni B areas were found on histopathology of the masses. Hypodense or cystic areas on imaging significantly correlated with Antoni B areas on histopathology. Orbital schwannoma is a rare tumor. The incidence of schwannoma in our institution is 6.5 %. Variable imaging features were found. The definite diagnosis can be established on the basis of histopathological and immunohistochemical studies.

“…Ultrasonography is the best tool for diagnosis as well as serial monitoring for resolution of the same before doing any surgical drainage 1. Orbital hydatid cyst is not uncommon in developing countries; the diagnosis depends on eliciting the relevant history in endemic areas followed by ultrasonography which usually shows a cystic cavity along with a typical double wall sign in the presence of hydatid sand attached to the walls 2. Ultrasound is an easy, reliable tool for diagnosing many more ocular disorders in a short period of time which provides very good findings in an outpatient as well as in an ocular emergency set-up.…”
