Abstract
Hydatid disease is a tapeworm parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus Granulosus that commonly affects the liver and the lungs, during its life cycle in the human body. Orbital involvement is a very rare occurrence and isolated orbital Echinococcosis is extremely rare. We report the case of an 8-year-old moroccan girl diagnosed with an orbital hydatid cyst, which was surgically treated, the diagnosis was initially done and CT and MRI, and it was confirmed with a post-op biopsy.
