Abstract
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.

We report a case of orbital hydatid cyst diagnosed by MRI findings in correlation with MRI Spectroscopy and confirmed by post-operative histopathological analysis
Summary
Hydatid disease is an endemic parasitic disease in many parts of the world and is well described in literature [1]. The most common form being the hepatic and the lung hydatid cyst [1]. 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, the percentage is quite high in some endemic regions of the world [2,3,4,5,6,7]. We report a case of orbital hydatid cyst diagnosed by MRI findings in correlation with MRI Spectroscopy and confirmed by post-operative histopathological analysis
