Summary
Two cases of unilateral proptosis caused by orbital hydatid cysts were analyzed. Imaging findings from ultrasound and computed tomography for this rare condition are detailed.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Radiology
- Parasitology
Background:
- Orbital hydatid cysts are rare parasitic infections causing unilateral proptosis.
- Accurate diagnosis relies on advanced imaging techniques.
Observation:
- Two patients presented with unilateral proptosis.
- Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) were utilized for evaluation.
Findings:
- The study presents the characteristic image morphology of orbital hydatid cysts.
- Specific imaging features aiding in diagnosis are highlighted.
Implications:
- Understanding the imaging characteristics is crucial for early and accurate diagnosis of orbital hydatid disease.
- This case series contributes to the literature on rare orbital pathologies and their radiological presentation.
