Surgical Procedure and Perioperative Management of a Giant Orbital Echinococcus Cyst during and after Pregnancy
Chirurgisches und perioperatives Management einer sehr großen orbitalen Echinococcus-Zyste während und nach einer Schwangerschaft
Introduction
Orbital cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a rare entity and most common in poor countries. Surgical management has been published in a few case reports [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. About 0.8 – 1 percent of all CE cases show an orbital involvement [4] and present typical radiological findings [6].
Interdisciplinary workup (radiology, infectious diseases) is usually performed before surgery and antiparasitic therapy is started before surgery in consideration of intraoperative spilling and a possible anaphylactic reaction, which is caused by the spilling of fluid from the hydatid cyst [7]. The prevalence of anaphylactic shock during surgery varies among studies and might be around 2% [8].
