Hydatid cyst of the mandibular condyle extending to the orbit–An unusual presentation
Hydatidosis is one of the most well-known zoonotic infections affecting the liver or brain, prevalent worldwide. Dogs are the most well-known intermediate hosts that affect humans. Humans can also contract the disease and become accidental intermediate hosts. While it is rare in the head and neck re...

| description | Hydatidosis is one of the most well-known zoonotic infections affecting the liver or brain, prevalent worldwide. Dogs are the most well-known intermediate hosts that affect humans. Humans can also contract the disease and become accidental intermediate hosts. While it is rare in the head and neck region, hydatidosis can manifest as either multiloculated or uniloculated lesions. The management of these cases presents significant challenges in maxillofacial surgery. Understanding the diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis of head and neck hydatidosis is crucial. Even with advancements in medical technology, diagnosis and treating these infections continues to be a complex as these conditions can arise unexpectedly during a clinicians practice. This case report highlights the significance of clinical presentation, thorough history taking, histopathologic examination, and management plans. We present a case of a 17-year-old male who presented to our clinic with orbital proptosis and vertical orbital dystopia and was diagnosed with a hydatid cyst with an aim to help practitioners better understand and diagnose head and neck zoonotic diseases while promoting careful management practices. |
