Abstract
Hydatid cysts are commonly confined to the liver, lungs and rarely in the central nervous system, whereas localisation of hydatid cysts in the orbit are quite rare, accounting for less than 0.8 to 1% of all the cases. It is one of the rarest causes of proptosis even in endemic areas caused by dog tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. Definitive treatment is surgical excision, however complete removal is many times difficult. Present study discusses a case of a 12-year-old child who presented with a progressive proptosis of the left eye and was diagnosed with orbital hydatid cyst on histopathological examination.
