Intramuscular Hydatid cyst of the
superior rectus muscleMohammed Etaiwi1, Loai Mabreh2
Summary
In endemic areas hydatid cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of focal intramuscular orbital cystic lesion. In addition, the presence of undulating membrane within the cyst is a feature that can exist in intramuscular OHC. We report a unique case of intramuscular hydatid cyst located in the superior rectus muscle and it’s MRI appearance. T2W MRI images showed undulating hypointense membrane diagnostic of hydatid cyst.
KEY WORDS: Hydatid, Superior rectus muscle, MRI.
