Abstract:
A retrospective CT study of 10 patients with histologically proven orbital hydatid disease revealed unilateral homogeneous unilocular cysts which were hypodense when compared to the vitreous humour in seven patients and hyperdense in three patients. Orbital bone thinning was detected in six patients. The hyperdense hydatid lesions may mimic other more common soft tissue orbital tumours.
