hydatid disease is a common and major public health issue caused by parasite echinococcus granulosus . the highest prevalence of the parasite can be found in different parts of world like africa, australia, and south america. this infection can occurs in almost any part of the body. here we present clinical, radiological, histological features and treatment of a multi ve­sicular osseous hydatid...

hydatidsis is a zoonosis transmitted by domestic and wild animals. two distinct clinical presentations are as followes: unilocular of cystic hydatid disease and the more malignant form, called alveolar hydatid disease.this case report presents a patient who complained of chest pain and hemoptysis and his lung ct scan suggested solid tumor. he was found to have alveolar diseae which responded to...

Cardiac involvement in hydatid disease is more seldom than the involvement of the liver and the lungs. Cardiac cyst hydatid disease is diagnosed incidentally or by means of symptoms such as dyspnea and angina pectoris. Here, we present the case of a 45-year-old male patient who underwent open heart surgery for a randomly detected cardiac cyst hydatid during investigations carried out in a healt...

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus (larval form) in humans with lesionsmost frequently encountered in the liver and lungs. It can rarely involve extra-hepatic organs. It is endemicin some regions of Iran. The omental hydatid cyst is a very rare manifestation of the disease. This report presentsthe interesting case of a very large omental hydatid cyst.

Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic infection of cosmopolitan distribution. As the clinical manifestations of hydatid disease in man are variable, the diagnosis of the condition presents complex problems for clinicians. Since the parasitic diagnosis of the disease is difficult, the specific diagnosis of the condition relies heavily on immunodiagnostic tests. The rece...

Intracranial hydatid disease is rare, with reported incidence of 1-2% of all cases with hydatid disease and most of these cases present in childhood. In this report, we describe four children with primary hydatid disease of the brain. All four patients were diagnosed with cranial Magnetic Resonance Imaging and in direct hemagglutination test for Echinococcus granulosus. Of these four children, ...

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Cardiac involvement in hydatid disease is uncommon, constituting only 0.5 - 2% of all cases of hydatidosis. Most patients with cardiac echinococcosis are asymptomatic, and the disease is often latent because a hydatid cyst in the heart grows very slowly. Only approximately 10 % of patients, especially those wi...

Psoas muscle is a rare location for hydatid disease. Here we present a case of infected hydatid cyst left psoas muscle presenting as left flank pain, fever, local flank tenderness, and raised blood counts. Pre-operative diagnosis was made by Ultrasonography (USG) and Computed Tomography (CT) abdomen, although serology for hydatid disease was negative.

INTRODUCTION Hydatid cyst disease is common in some regions of the world and is usually located in the liver and lungs. This report presents two cases of primary hydatid cysts located subcutaneously: one in the medial thigh and one in the left palm between the index and middle fingers. CASE PRESENTATIONS A 64-year-old male farmer visited our hospital because a swelling on the right medial thi...

Echinococcus granulosus infrequently induces spinal hydatid cysts, and intradural hydatid cysts are extremely rare among these spinal hydatid cysts. We report a 30-year-old man with a history of progressive back pain caused by a previous back injury. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spinal intradural cystic lesion. After surgical removal, histopathological diagnosis was a hydatid cyst. The...
