BACKGROUND Approximately in 50% of the patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), pleural fluid collection occurs at the early postoperative period and resolves spontaneously. CASE REPORT CABG was performed on a 54-year-old male. In the early postoperative period, the chest roentgenogram revealed right pleural collection. The preoperative and the postoperative hepatic ...

Two cases of portal hypertension due to hydatid cysts of the liver are reported. In one of the patients, symptoms were secondary to obstruction of inferior vena cava and hepatic outflow tract. The other patient was operated on with a diagnosis of extrahepatic presinusoidal portal hypertension caused by extrinsic compression of the liver by an hydatid cyst. Although hydatidosis is a benign disea...

abstract alvelolar hydatid disease is caused by e. multilocularis. human infection occurs at the larval stage of this small tape worm (1.2 to 4.5 mm). in this article we studied alveolar hydatid disease in a 50 year old woman who presented with a hepatic mass. liver biopsy and histopathologic evaluation showed alvelolar hydatidosis of the liver. then resection of the left lobe of liver was done...

OBJECTIVE To describe human hydatid disease in Tasmania since 1996, the 2013 that the state was declared provisionally hydatid-free. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Individuals with a new diagnosis or history of hydatid disease between January 1996 and July 2012 were identified through a number of sources including public health notifications, discharge coding from Tasmanian public hospitals...

Cyst hydatid disease is a parasitic zoonosis caused by the larvae of tapeworm belonging to Echinococcus species. While can affect almost any part human body, liver and lung are two organs where most frequently detected. Peritoneal involvement may develop following hepatic cyst surgery or as result spontaneous micro-ruptures into peritoneal cavity. However, with only few reported cases, primary ...

BACKGROUND At present, Da Vinci robotic assisted hepatectomy has been routinely carried out in conditional units. But there is no report concerning the use of Da Vinci robots for hepatic hydatid cystectomy and experience on this aspect is seldom mentioned before. This study was to summarize the preliminary experience in laparoscopic resection of hepatic hydatidectocyst with the Da Vinci Surgica...

Alvelolar hydatid disease is caused by E. multilocularis. Human infection occurs at the larval stage of this small tape worm (1.2 to 4.5 mm). In this article we studied alveolar hydatid disease in a 50 year old woman who presented with a hepatic mass. Liver biopsy and histopathologic evaluation showed alvelolar hydatidosis of the liver.

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The most common locations of infection are the liver and lungs. This case discusses a rare isolated retrovesical hydatid cyst. The case-report describes a thirteen year old boy who presented with abdominal pain and dysuria. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a multiloculair cyst, pathognomonic for a ...

The treatment of hydatid cyst includes various forms: from open surgery to laparoscopic and endoscopic therapies, all enhanced by specific antiparasitic drugs. In this chapter are summarized the main techniques of laparoscopic treatment of hydatid cyst and its major postoperative complications. Surgical techniques described vary depending on the topographic location, expression on the surface o...

UNLABELLED Hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis or hydatidosis, is an infectious disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus. Echinococcus granulosus is the most common Echinococcus species affecting human beings. It may affect any organ and tissue in the body, in particular the liver and lung. Musculoskeletal or soft tissue hydatidosis accounts for about 0.5% 5% of all echinococcal inf...
