✓ A rare case of multiple primary hydatid cysts of the brain is reported in a 9-year-old girl. There were five cysts, occupying most of the right supratentorial region. The biggest cyst measured 9 cm across, while the smallest one was 4.5 cm in diameter. The diagnosis was based on computerized tomography findings. The patient did not have any evidence of hydatid disease elsewhere in the body. The delivery of all the cysts resulted in the dramatic neurological recovery of this patient.

✓ From among 1500 patients who underwent computerized tomography (CT) during an 18-month period, five cases of hydatid disease of the brain were diagnosed. The preoperative diagnosis is of paramount importance as the cyst has to be removed unruptured. The CT features of this condition are practically pathognomonic. The authors discuss the CT findings in these cases and differential diagnosis with other cystic lesions of the brain. The help that this safe and sure method of investigation gives to attain preoperative diagnosis is emphasized.

✓ The authors present an extremely rare case of secondary multiple cerebral echinococcosis caused by presumed intracerebral and arterial embolism of cardiac hydatidosis in a 7-year-old girl. The first manifestations were symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. Unfortunately, before the primary ruptured echinococcosis cyst was detected in the myocardium of the left ventricle, the patient underwent nine operations over an 8-year period for hydatid embolism affecting the brain and the femoral artery and was treated with concurrent mebendazole therapy. The combined therapy would not have been successful without removal of the intracardiac hydatid cyst. This case is unusual because of the multiplicity of intracranial hydatid cysts and its embolic origin from cardiac echinococcosis. The present case is believed to be the first one in which the development of an embolism in the brain was studied by magnetic resonance imaging.

✓ 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.

✓ Cerebral chromoblastomycosis is a rare intracranial lesion. This lesion was found in a 23-year-old man, who presented with right proptosis and fainting attacks. Computerized tomography revealed a moderately enhanced irregular mass in the right frontal region. Angiography disclosed that the mass was avascular. At surgery, a hard elastic avascular tumor was totally removed piecemeal. Histological diagnosis was a granuloma of fungal origin. Characteristic brown pigments in the hyphae of fungus in the granuloma strongly suggested that the fungus was chromoblastomycosis. The postoperative course was complicated by meningitis and rupture of fungal aneurysms. The patient remained vegetative and died 2½ years later. The literature on such fungal aneurysms is briefly reviewed; no previous case of fungal aneurysms associated with cerebral chromoblastomycosis could be found.

✓ A 45-year-old woman developed a rare case of palatal myoclonus with no other neurological signs after undergoing extirpation of a small cerebellar low-grade astrocytoma that was located in the right dentate nucleus. The palatal myoclonus has persisted for 4 years after the operation. Magnetic resonance T2-weighted imaging revealed a high-intensity lesion in the left inferior olive. Palatal myoclonus associated with the removal of cerebellar tumors is unusuall but may easily be overlooked.

Abdominal Hydatidosis

Hydatid disease may develop in almost any part of the body. Approximately 70% of the hydatid cysts are located in the liver followed by the lung (25%). The kidneys, spleen, mesentery, peritoneum, soft tissues and brain are uncommon locations for hydatid cysts. Involvement of pelvis is very rare, with ovary the most frequently involved genital organ. We report a rare case of abdominal  hydatidosis with cysts in the liver, spleen, peritoneal cavity and ovary.
