Popis: | Intra-orbital hydatid cyst is a very rare pathological entity that affects children and the young adults; it is secondary to the development in the orbit of the echinococcus granulosis tapeworm. Its frequency does not exceed 1% of all cases of hydatid disease. Clinical presentation of intra-orbital hydatid cyst is dominated by proptosis and a decrease in visual acuity, complete surgical excision is difficult, evolution is generally better when the treatment is early before the installation of irreversible optic atrophy. We report one case of a 3 years old girl operated for right intra-orbital hydatid cyst who presented with proptosis and blindness. Complete removal was difficult and puncture of the cyst was performed followed by excision of its membrane with good post-operative results. We also discuss the different epidemiological, clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of intra-orbital hydatid cyst and a review of literature of this rare pathology. |
