[A rare cause of exophthalmos, hydatid cyst of the orbit].

INTRODUCTION: The orbital hydatid cyst is a rare (1 to 2%) localization of the Echinococcus granulosus parasite. OBSERVATIONS: An intra-orbital localization of hydatidosis was revealed in two patients by the occurrence of unilateral exophthalmia. After tumoral resection the diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. COMMENTS: The principle clinical sign of an orbital hydatid cyst is exophthalmia. Imaging is essential for pre-operative diagnosis. Serology is insufficient and treatment is surgical.
