Abstract
A surgical technique is described for cryoextraction of the inner germinal layer of orbital hydatid cysts. The technique was adopted in two cases. It is simple and effective and causes minimal postoperative reaction or complications. There were no recurrences over a period of 24 and 18 months respectively.
