Case Reports
A primary intraocular hydatid cyst
Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh).
1991 Dec.
Abstract
Ultrasonography and computerized tomography (CT) of the painful and blind right eye of a 13-year-old girl showed a cystic mass almost filling the vitreous cavity and narrowing the anterior chamber. The histopathologic diagnosis of the enucleated eye was an echinococcus cyst. Abdominal ultrasonography, brain CT and chest X-rays gave no abnormal findings when first examined, nor during the follow-up 18 months after surgery. Indirect hemagglutination test was negative at the last control. The case was accepted as a primary hydatid cyst (echinococcosis) of the eyeball.
