  • Title: [Orbital hydatid cyst. Apropos of 2 cases].
    Author: Gola R, Cheynet F, Ourgaud M, Devin F.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1990; 91 Suppl 1():59-62. PubMed ID: 2130462.
    Abstract:
    Orbital hydatid cysts are extremely rare in France. The authors report two cases in young adults of North African origin, one being a recurrence. Echography and CT scan were the most useful paraclinical investigations. The cysts were surgically excised with difficulty via an anterior approach adapted to the localisation. After 5 years follow up, both patients survived, however, there was major visual loss (blindness, or requirement for enucleation), due to the delay in diagnosis.
