Spinal epidural localization of hydatid cyst is quite rare. We report a case of a 33-year-old patient who experienced paraparesis over 2 years, with an umbilical sensitive level. A CT scan and MRI showed an intrathoracic multilobar lesion, probably of intra-spinal origin. An anterolateral transpleural surgical approach confirmed the hydatic character of the observed lesion and enabled total spi...

Primary involvement of the kidney is rare in case of hydatid disease. We present a case of primary left renal hydatid cyst in a 40 year old female patient admitted with left lumbar pain radiating to the back. Computed tomography of the patient was done and was suggestive of hydatid cyst involving the lower pole of the left kidney. The cyst was managed by left Nephrectomy with open surgical exci...

Abstract- Introduction   Hydatid cyst is endemic in India, with different clinical presentations as per site of involvement in body. Occurrence primarily in brain without involvement of other visceras is rare.   Case report   We present a case of eight year old female child with gradually progressive right hemiparesis and slurring of speech, with a large cyst in left cerebral hemisphere ...

Pulmonary hydatid disease is a particular radiological diagnostic problem when the hydatid is small, single, and symptomless, so that distinction must be made from the numerous other causes of isolated, peripheral pulmonary lesions. The technique of delivery of a pulmonary hydatid cyst, different from the management of other single peripheral lesions, makes preoperative recognition of hydatid d...

Echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection in which the liver is the organ most frequently involved, followed by the lung and sometimes the heart, spleen, kidney and brain [1]. Hydatid cyst can be seen in almost every part of the human body [2–5]. Despite the common involvement of the liver in terms of location, only 2 cases of isolated hydatid cyst of the round ligament of the liver have been repo...

Primary muscle hydatidosis is very rare, accounting for less than 1% of hydatid cyst locations, and the gluteus muscle location is exceptional. The objective of this study is to report an exceptional location of hydatid cyst of the gluteus muscle presented like a tumor in the buttock region. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful in diagnosis, it represents the best test for hydatid cysts ...

Retroperitoneal schwannomas are quite rare tumors. Isolated renal hydatid cyst is also rare, and it forms 2-4% of hydatid disease. Because of their infrequent occurrence, nonspecific signs and symptoms, and lack of distinguishing radiologic features, we report herein a case of right retroperitoneal mass in a 26-year-old woman which was found to be benign schwannoma following a percutaneous core...

Hydatid disease of the liver is still endemic in certain parts of the world. The diagnosis of non-complicated hydatid cyst of the liver depends on clinical suspicion. Ultrasonography and computed tomography, the most important diagnostic tools, are helpful for determining the complications and planning treatment. The modern treatment of hydatid cyst of the liver varies from surgical interventio...

INTRODUCTION A hydatid cyst of the head and neck is a very rare condition, even in areas where Echinococcus infestation is endemic. CASE REPORT We report a rare case of primary hydatid cyst of the right maxillary sinus in a 40-year-old man. The initial diagnosis of the presence of a cystic mass was the result of physical examination and computed tomography (CT) scan. We resected the cystic ma...

The hydatid disease is widely spread and is rare zooantroponous parasitosis in endemic regions, one of which is The Balkan Peninsula. The size of the cyst is different: from a diameter in millimeters, which is undetectable, to prominent in epigastria. Many patients return after operation for hydatid cyst with a recurrence. The aim of this report is to present 9 cases with recurrent hydatid cyst...
