Abstract Intracranial hydatid cyst is a rare entity, comprising about 2–3% of all hydatid cysts. Similarly, intracranial hydatid cysts account for 1–2% of all intracranial lesions. Clinical symptoms are generally nonspecific and patients usually present with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. Cerebral hydatid cysts can be either primary or secondary to systemic hydatid disease. Primary cerebral hydatid cysts are usually solitary, unilocular with an intraparenchymal location. Intraventricular extension of hydatid cysts account for a limited percentage of all cerebral hydatid cysts with limited number of cases reported. Herein, we present the imaging and surgical findings of a primary cerebral hydatid cyst that is located in frontal lobe parenchyma with partial extension into the ventricular system.

Intracranial Hydatid Cyst

Intracranial hydatid cyst involves supratentorial area and mainly affecting the middle cerebral artery territory with the predilection of the partial lobe. It can be single - which is the most common - or multiple up to 35 cysts. They tend to be huge at the time of symptomatic presentation especially when they are presented as a solitary lesion with a slow growth rate around 1.5 cm/year, however, it is variable and it can be up to 10 cm/year. Surgical treatment is mandatory for all patients once the correct diagnosis is made, except for patients with multiple organ involvement in poor general conditions and deep-located cysts. The existence of hydatidosis in the cisternal spaces must not be neglected given the capacity of E. granulosus larvae to disseminate via the CSF. In this case report; two and half years’ male child presented with a history of 2 attacks of generalized seizure for the last 72 hours with the head circumference at the upper normal limit for his age. This paper presents the first case report demonstrating a primary single hydatid cyst located in the quadrigeminal cistern in a child. We concluded that in spite of the feasibility of the imaging and the high suspension of cerebral hydatid cyst, still, the reports show more locations which can be described as unusual although for a head to toe suspected distribution of hydatid disease is already understood. An eminent medical and surgical (if indicated) treatment of the primary cerebral hydatid cyst are always effective and recommended.

Case Surgery

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Surgery is presently the mainstay in the treatment of cerebral hydatid cysts, but removal without perforation of the cyst wall is critical. The Dowling-Orlando technique has been the main surgical choice for the intact removal of intracranial hydatid cysts. Dowling described his technique in 1929, well before the introduction of the microscope in neurosurgery. Using the operating microscope has not been reported in the removal of a large hydatid cyst. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: The case of a 16-year-old male with a large, right parieto-occipital hydatid cyst is presented. INTERVENTION: In this case, surgery was greatly aided by the use of the microscope in the initial stage of the removal of the cyst. Cyst extraction during the delivery process was continued without the aid of the microscope. The cyst was successfully removed intact. CONCLUSION: The use of the magnification during the early part of the surgery of a hydatid cyst is extremely helpful because, at a crucial stage of the procedure, it prevents inadvertent damage of the very thin cyst wall and allows development of the critical surgical plane.

✓ Eleven cases of cerebral hydatid cyst, diagnosed by computerized tomography (CT), are presented. The importance of CT in minimizing the possibility of accidentally tapping or tearing the cyst membrane is stressed. Repeat CT scanning after removal of the cyst revealed atrophy in the affected hemisphere.

Hepatic Hydatid

Hepatic hydatid cysts are benign cysts in the liver that are the result of parasites infection. They are caused by echinoccocus granulosis or multilocularis. They caused several symptoms like pain, obstructive jaundice, and sepsis. Hydatid cyst can be complicated to cystobiliary communication (CBC) which can be frank CBC or occult CBC. Medical, endoscopic, percutaneous and surgical treatments are different approaches to treat hydatid cyst. Here we report a case of hepatic hydatid cyst with cystobiliary communication, causing obstructive jaundice and treated with sphincterotomy and insertion of biliary stent through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Significant Health

Hydatid cyst is a very significant health problem in India. As recorded in the literature, majority of hydatid cysts are found in the liver followed by the lungs with an incidence rate of 60-70% and 10-15% respectively. Cystic hydatid disease in bones is seen in less than 4% of cases, with majority presenting in the spine. In this case report we have discussed primary intraspinal extradural hydatid cyst with paravertebral extension (dumbbell shaped) in lumbar vertebra which is a rarity. The diagnosis was established intraoperatively based on the findings with a follow up and review of literatures, along with its management.
