Abstract

A 5 year old girl with an echinococcuscyst in the right orbit is reported. The final diagnosis was made by removal of the cyst. A second cyst was found in the liver. The epidemiology, clinical and diagnostic problems of echinococcosis are reviewed. Radical surgery is still the only reliable treatment. For inoperable cases chemotherapy with Mebendazol seems promising. Many problems of chemotherapy remain to be solved and Mebendazol therapy is still in an experimental stage.
