Isolated pericardial hydatid cyst: anatomical details on 64 slice multidetector CT scanner.
DESCRIPTION Cardiac involvement is uncommon (0.02–2%) in hydatid disease and the most common location is in the left ventricle, followed by interventricular septum and right ventricle. The clinical presentation of hydatid disease depends on the location of the cysts, and diagnosis is usually made by CT and/or high-resolution MRI. We are presenting an extremely rare manifestation of hydatid dise...
متن کاملIsolated Pericardial Hydatid Cyst
Cardiac hydatid cyst is an uncommon disease, mostly involving the myocardium. Involvement of the pericardium or isolated pericardial hydatid cysts are extremely rare and therefore can mimic other pericardial cystic diseases. Herein we present the radiological and surgical findings of an asymptomatic isolated pericardial hydatid cyst
متن کاملIsolated Pericardial Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report
Cardiac echinococcosis is extremely rare, and cysts are found mostly within the myocardium. Most cardiac hydatid cysts are located in the left ventricular wall. Only a few cases of isolated pericardial hydatid cysts have been reported. Echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are important diagnostic tools for the diagnosis of echinococcosis. Herein, we report a rare...
متن کاملCharacterization of Solid Renal Masses using 64-Slice Multidetector CT Scanner
The purpose of our study was to assess the role of a 64-slice multidetector CT (MDCT) scanner in the characterization of different solid renal masses, using a simplified approach to correct the postenhancement attenuation values. The study included 96 consecutive adults (58 men, 38 women) with renal masses; 93 with unilateral and three with bilateral masses. All of our patients underwent multip...
متن کامل[Isolated pericardial hydatid cyst as a casual diagnosis].
We present a 54-year-old man who underwent chest radiography in the context of a respiratory infection. As an incidental finding, a well-defined cardiac contour deformity with smooth edgeswas detected in the right chambers (Fig. 1). Echocardiography was performed and showed a cystic appearance with partially calcified borders located on the underside of the cardiac silhouette. Function was not ...
