Hydatid Disease with Multiple Organ Involvement: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of 34 years old woman with hydatid disease of the lungs, brain and heart but without liver involvement. The disease started in 2006. as pulmonary hydatidosis of the right posterior inferior lobe. In July 2008, brain surgery was performed due to the hydatid disease located on the right temporoparietal region based on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). During the postsurgical recovery she complained of dyspnea. Heart ultrasonography and computed tomography showed hydatid cyst located in the left ventricle. Because of the possibility of the multiple organ involvement, we suggest that postoperative follow-up of patients with previous hydatid disease should include chest radiographs, ultrasonography of the heart and even brain CT and/or MRI as standard methods.
