brain hydatid cyst constitutes one of the leading causes of cranial mass in the endemic region, especially among the children. symptoms of the disease are associated with rising of intracranial pressure and focal neurological deficit. surgical excision of the cyst is essential to treatment. here we present a 19 yr-old male livings in ardabil, northwest of iran, referred to neurosurgery clinic i...

OBJECTIVE Hydatic cyst is a parasitic disease caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. In the study, the aim is to evaluate the relation between serology and grow-up time in atypically localized cysts. METHODS Retrospectively, all the patients with hydatic disease between December 2004 and May 2012 were screened from the hospital database. Hydatic cyst localization other than the live...

When x-rays were discovered in 1895 specialists started to describe the radiologic aspects of the pulmonary diseases. Levy-Dorn and Zadek affirmed that the characteristic picture of an entire simple cyst in the lungs is a round shadow with neat borders. As every symbol in biology, this affirmation proved to be false and so Lanari was able to say that the most perfect image of an hydatic cyst he...

Hydatid pulmonary embolism is an uncommon condition resulting from the rupture of a hydatid heart cyst or the opening of a visceral hydatid cyst (often in the liver) into the venous circulation. We report a case of hydatid pulmonary embolism following rupture of a hydatic cyst in the right ventricle. Pulmonary angiography showed right pulmonary occlusion. Echocardiography, computed tomography s...

Hydatic cyst is an illness that appears in consequence of the cystic form of small strap-shaped worm Echinococcus granulosis. Frequently, cysts exist in the lungs and liver. Peritoneal involvement is rare, and generally occurs as a result of second inoculation from rupture of a liver-located hydatic cyst. Primary ovarian hydatic cyst is very rare. A 56-year-old female patient was admitted to Em...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is caused by infection with the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus. It is one of the world's major zoonotic infections. Variability and severity of clinical expression of this parasitosis are associated with duration and intensity of infection. They are also related to the variety of human immunological responses to the hydatic antigens. The aim of th...

Cardiac hydatid cysts are rarely seen. The presentation of an acute lower limb ischemia secondary to embolization from an interventricular hydatic cyst is also rare. We describe a case of a 30-year-old-man who presented with acute lower limb ischemia revealing hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum and septal defect, and who was operated on successfully.

Peritoneal hydatidosis is one of the most serious complications of hydatid disease. It is favoured by the superficial seat of the cyst, its large size and high intra cystic pressure. Traumatic rupture is usually iatrogenic during surgery for liver hydatic cyst (LHC). We report a new case of a 26-year-old patient hospitalized with acute peritonitis associated with rupture of a liver hydatid cyst...
