To determine the clinical presentation and surgical outcome of cranioorbital hydatidosis. This retrospective study was performed in the department of neurosurgery Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from November 1999 to October 2006. Twenty-one cases with intracranial/orbital hydatidosis were operated. The patients were either admitted through out patient department or referred from other units. Computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging were the imaging modalities to reach the diagnosis in addition to serological and hematological tests. Surgery was the only treatment option used. Pericystic hydraulic method was the technique used for the excision of the hydatid cyst of brain. There were nine males and 12 females with male to female ratio of 1:1.3. All patients belonged to pediatric age group with age range of 4–14 years and mean age of 8.66 years. Headache, vomiting, papilledema were present in all the patients while seizures were the present in 16 patients. The lesion was removed surgically by adopting pericystic hydraulic method during craniotomy in all but two cases of orbital hydatid disease where lateral orbitotomy was performed to enucleate the cyst. There was no intraoperative morbidity except that the cyst ruptured in one case. No postoperative complications were noted and there was no mortality. Hydatid cyst of the brain presents clinically as intracranial space occupying lesion and is more common in children. Surgery is the treatment option with affordable morbidity and low mortality.
