Purpose:
To report a rare case of submacular hydatid cyst and its surgical management.
Methods:
Systemic investigations did not show a hydatid cyst in any other body organ. Serology for Echinococcus granulosus was also negative. Pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy were done. Removal of the cyst was done with the help of foreign body forceps after debulking with cystostomy and silicone oil tamponade was given. Histopathologic examination showed it to be a hydatid cyst.
Conclusion:
Surgery for a subretinal hydatid cyst cytostomy is a safe treatment modality.
