Orbital and medial rectus muscle involvement as initial presentations of hydatid disease
Orbital hydatid cysts may present as inflammatory proptosis and should be considered in populations from endemic areas of human echinococcosis. Early diagnosis using orbital MRI, systemic investigations such as liver sonography, timely surgery for definitive diagnosis and treatment, and appropriate adjuvant antiparasitic medication are crucial for effective management.
