We describe a rare case of intact endobronchial hydatid cyst that posed a diagnostic challenge because of an unusual imaging manifestation (atelectasis) and unexpected bronchoscopic findings. Although the role of bronchoscopy in the management of pulmonary hydatid cyst is still controversial, 6 cases of complicated pulmonary hydatid cyst removed completely by suction through a fiberoptic bronchoscope have been reported so far. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first nonsurgically treated case of intact endobronchial hydatid cyst with an uneventful long-term follow-up.

ABSTRACTPrimary spinal epidural hydatid cyst without bony involvement is extremely rare. Authors report the case of a 44-yearold female brought to their attention for a rapidly progressive paraplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed extradural multiple cysts with “bunch of grapes” appearance extended to the paraspinal muscles through neural foramina without bony involvement on computed tomography (CT) scan. Histopathologic examination after a surgical approach confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. The early postoperative period showed a progressive improvement of her neurological deficit. The long-term follow-up under discontinued antihelminthic chemotherapy was uneventful.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.
