  • Title: [Exudative retinal detachment in intraorbital echinococcal cyst].
    Author: Gelisken F, Erda S, Kreissig I.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1994 Aug; 205(2):109-11. PubMed ID: 7967404.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Orbital manifestation of hydatid cyst can occur in 1%, however, an exudative retinal detachment due to an intraorbital hydatid cyst is an uncommon finding. CASE REPORT: A 20-year-old Turkish woman with an orbital hydatid cyst and an accompanying exudative retinal detachment. RESULTS: Serology and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of an orbital hydatid cyst. After excision of the cyst in toto the retina reattached spontaneously. CONCLUSION: In the differential diagnosis of a proptosis with an exudative retinal detachment, although rare, the diagnosis of an orbital echinococcis should be considered.
