P685 Isolated Large Cardiac Hydatid Cyst in the Interventricular Septum

Abstract Hydatidosis or cystic echinococcosis is caused by infection with the metacestode stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus . Cardiac hydatid cyst is a rare disease (%0.5-%2) and its symptom is depending on the size and site of infection. The growth of hydatid cyst is usually slow and asymptomatic and just about 10% of patients with cardiac hydatid cyst are symptomatic . The left ventricle is the site of cardiac hydatid cysts in 55% to 60% of cases.Involvement of the interventricular septum is quite rarer.Surgical excision is the preferred treatment. We are reporting a patient with cardiac hydatidosis who was medically treated mass cause of refused the surgery.A 27-year-old woman presented with atypical chest pain and dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large cyst in the interventricular septum. Thoracic computed tomography showed a cystic lesion in that site, and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a 32× 34-mm mass. The patient was treated with albendazole 10 mg/kg for 6 months. After a 6-month follow-up, echocardiography revealed reduction in the size of the cyst. We consider this is the infrequent documented case of cardiac hydatid cyst which regressed with only medical treatment Abstract P685 Figure. Hydatid Cyst in the IVS

Abstract OBJECTIVE Spinal hydatid cyst is a serious form of hydatid disease affecting fewer than 1% of all patients with hydatid disease. We report 3 healthy patients who presented with progressive paraparesis attributed to a histologically proven intradural hydatid cyst. METHODS There were 2 children (1 boy, 1 girl) and 1 adult with a mean age of 12 years. The median follow-up duration was 16 months. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging was performed in the 3 patients, and an anatomic and topographical diagnosis of the intradural hydatid cyst was made. RESULTS Magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed cystic lesions with peripheral contrast enhancement. Surgery was performed through laminectomy, complete resection was achieved, and antihelminthic treatment with albendazole 10 mg/kg−1 per day for 6 months was included in the postoperative treatment. The patients improved after surgery with normal motor function. CONCLUSION This localization is rare and serious, but its prognosis is excellent if diagnosis is made early enough and surgery is performed in time to prevent cyst rupture.

Cardiac Lipoma

Cardiac lipomas are rare benign primary neoplasms of the heart, usually found incidentally, that can become symptomatic depending on their size and location. We report the case of a 61-year-old man presenting with chest pain and elevated troponin and a normal EKG and D-dimers. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an intracardiac mass attached to the interventricular septum protruding to the left ventricle, later confirmed to be a lipomatous mass consistent with a cardiac lipoma on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Due to the mass characteristics and favourable evolution, it was decided not to excise the tumour, and the patient remains asymptomatic after a 4-year follow-up period.

The Right

Introduction: The rupture of a hydatid liver cyst in the portal system is an exceptional complication. It has been reported only few observations in the world literature. We report a case a patient that we operated on for a complicated hydatid liver cyst. Observation: This is a 46-year-old patient, a professional driver with a hunting dog hospitalized in the surgical department for obstructive jaundice. Abdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging diagnosed 3 hydatid cysts in stage III of Gharbi accompanied by partial thrombosis of the portal vein with an absence of visualization of its right branch. The exploration operation revealed the existence of 3 hydatid cysts that communicate with each other and destroy half of the right liver. At the end of the total cystectomy, a communication of the cyst with the right branch of the portal vein was highlighted and the evacuation of the daughter vesicles followed by a major hemorrhage. The daughter vesicle was evacuated and the right branch of the portal vein was ligated and the bile ducts drained by a transcystic drain. The postoperative complications were complicated by a biliary fistula which dried up on the 19th postoperative day. The patient was discharged from the service on the 30th postoperative day. Currently, he is on Albendazole tablet 400mg / day with well health. Conclusion: The rupture of a hydatid cyst in the portal system remains rare and its diagnosis is well established by modern examinations such as ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The treatment involves surgery and Albendazole but remains quite difficult.

Rare Presentation

Cardiac hydatidosis is a rare presentation of echinococcus granulosus infestation. We report the case of 57-year-old man who presented with syncope due to ventricular tachycardia and was managed with antiarrhythmic drugs for an acute episode. Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging suggested a 1 cm right ventricular hydatid cyst. In view of the control of arrhythmia on antiarrhythmic drugs and the small size of the cyst, the patient was treated with albendazole 400 mg twice a day for 4 weeks. He was asymptomatic with normal liver function during follow-up, and repeat echocardiography after 1 year revealed disappearance of the intramyocardial lesion.

ABSTRACTPrimary spinal hydatid cyst is very rare lesion aff ecting less than 1% of the total cases of the hydatid disease. In this study, we report a case of spinal hydatid in a 5-year old boy presented with a history of backache, leg pain, difficulty in walking, and bowel and bladder incontinence for 4 months. An intradural nonenhancing cystic lesion was detected using magnetic resonance imaging from L4 to sacral region, and histopathological findings were suggestive of hydatid cyst.

Splenic Hydatid Cyst

Although involvement of spleen is rare in cases of hydatid disease, it should always be considered as a differential diagnosis for a cystic lesion in any of the solid organs, abdomen, lung or brain. The current case report is of a 60-year-old female patient who presented to Emergency Department with complaints of left upper quadrant pain which was continuous and dull aching. Ultrasound abdomen revealed a well-defined multicystic lesion with septations in spleen. Computed tomographic examination and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the same and the lesion showed the characteristic T2 hypointense rim, consistent with hydatid disease. Splenectomy was performed for the patient and proved to be splenic hydatid cyst.
