The study included five patients presented to the Orbital unit of Assiut University Hospital with an intraconal orbital cyst, which histologically proved to be a hydatid cyst. In all cases, a conjunctival incision near the fornix was made depending on the cyst location as revealed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A traction suture was applied to the two relevant recti muscles to guide the globe toward the desired direction. Blunt orbital dissection was made toward the cyst until exposing its anterior surface. A 20-gauge needle was introduced into the cyst and followed by aspiration of its content. The collapsed cyst was then removed by non-toothed forceps and followed by copious irrigation of the field. The follow-up period ranged from 11 to 58 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The age of patients ranged from 11 to 44 years. Three were males and two were females. The cyst was iso-dense to the vitreous on CT and iso-intense to the vitreous on MRI. In all cases after aspiration of the content, the collapsed cyst was easily removed. None of the five patients developed recurrence during the follow-up period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
