Abstract
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Hydatid Cyst of the Orbit is a rare manifestation even in endemic areas. It presents as a silent proptosis with or without visual function impairment. Many surgical procedures have been implemented for cyst removal including transcranial, lateral orbitotomy, tansmaxillary sinus, rhinotomy, and anterior orbitotomy. Post-operative complications endangering visual function and locally were reported with some of these approaches. A new simple, easy, and quick procedure was improvised with no significant complications. The procedure is described in details. .
