To report an unusual case of orbital hydatid cyst successfully managed by surgical excision.
A 33-year-old female presented with gradual protrusion of the left eye associated with poor vision, cosmetic embarrassment and watering. She had excision biopsy of an encapsulated cystic lesion with cheesy tissue and serous content. Orbital hydatid cyst due to echinococcosis was confirmed at histopathological examination of the excised tissue. She subsequently became pregnant hence, could not undergo post-operative antihelminthic treatment, but was managed conservatively with no recurrence after five years of regular follow-up.
Orbital hydatid cyst should be considered as a differential in a young patient presenting with unilateral proptosis.
None.
报告一例通过手术切除成功治疗的罕见眼眶包虫囊肿病例。
一名33岁女性,出现左眼逐渐突出,伴有视力下降、外观尴尬和流泪症状。她接受了对一个有奶酪样组织和浆液性内容物的包膜囊性病变的切除活检。切除组织的组织病理学检查证实为棘球蚴病所致的眼眶包虫囊肿。她随后怀孕,因此无法接受术后抗蠕虫治疗,但经保守治疗,在定期随访五年后无复发。
对于出现单侧眼球突出的年轻患者,应将眼眶包虫囊肿列为鉴别诊断之一。
无。
