Abstract
Hydatid cyst is an infectious disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, primarily involving the liver and lungs. The orbit is an extremely rare site for involvement with hydatid cyst. We present a 36-year-old man with unilateral visual loss, proptosis, and papilledema caused by an orbital hydatid cyst.
