Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Parasitology
Surgical Science

Background:

Hydatid cysts are rare in the eye, with submacular location being exceptionally uncommon.
Echinococcus granulosus infection typically affects organs like the liver and lungs, rarely presenting in the posterior segment of the eye.

Purpose of the Study:

To document a rare case of a submacular hydatid cyst.
To describe the surgical management and outcomes of this rare ocular condition.

Main Methods:

A patient with a suspected submacular lesion underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination.
Surgical intervention involved pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy, followed by cyst debulking via cystostomy and subsequent removal using foreign body forceps.
Silicone oil tamponade was employed postoperatively.

Main Results:

Histopathologic examination confirmed the presence of a hydatid cyst.
The surgical procedure successfully removed the subretinal hydatid cyst.

Conclusions:

Surgical management of subretinal hydatid cysts, including cystostomy, is a safe and effective treatment modality.
Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for preserving vision in cases of ocular hydatidosis.
