title: Swollen eyelid reveals multiple intracranial hydatid cysts associated with a palpebral cyst.
abstract: We report a case of a hydatid cyst of the eyelid in a 12-year-old boy associated with cerebral involvement. The patient was initially treated by neurosurgeons for brain cysts. The course after an interval of two months was marked by regression of the palpebral cyst on albendazole.
