[Exudative retinal detachment in intraorbital echinococcal cyst].
BACKGROUND
Orbital manifestation of hydatid cyst can occur in 1%, however, an exudative retinal detachment due to an intraorbital hydatid cyst is an uncommon finding.


METHODS
A 20-year-old Turkish woman with an orbital hydatid cyst and an accompanying exudative retinal detachment.


RESULTS
Serology and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of an orbital hydatid cyst. After excision of the cyst in toto the retina reattached spontaneously.


CONCLUSIONS
In the differential diagnosis of a proptosis with an exudative retinal detachment, although rare, the diagnosis of an orbital echinococcis should be considered.
