Objective. We aim to determine the efficiency of CT in identification of cystic echinococcosis in sheep. Methods. Fifty-three sheep with liver cysts confirmed by ultrasonography were subject to CT scan to evaluate the number, size, and type of the cysts in liver and lung, confirmed using necropsy. The correlation of numbers between liver cysts and lung cysts was calculated using Pearson analysis. Results. Necropsy indicated a 98% consensus on size, location, number, and activity compared with CT scan. The viable cysts were 53.1% and 50.6% in the liver and lung, respectively. Among the cysts in liver, 35.5%, 9.5%, 5.7%, 10.2%, and 39.1% were Types CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4, and CE5, respectively. The cysts in the lungs, 17.4%, 26.9%, 12.1%, 11.6%, and 32.1%, were Types CE1, CE2, CE3, CE4, and CE5, respectively. A significant correlation was noticed between the number of cysts in liver and those in lung (R=0.770, P<0.001). Conclusions. CT scan is a suitable tool in determining the size and type of cystic hydatid cysts in both liver and lung of sheep. A significant correlation was noticed between the numbers in liver and lung, indicating that lung infection was likely due to the expansion of liver cyst burden pressure.

Introductions: Hydatid cyst is caused by the tapeworm. It is common in sheep and cattle rearing communities. Liver is the most common affected organ. There are various methods of surgical approaches for hydatid cyst. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of patients operated for intra-abdominal hydatid cysts from July 2012 to June 2018 at Patan Hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Nepal. Ethical approval from institutional review committee was obtained. Patient files with incomplete data were excluded. Variables analyzed were, age, gender, site and numbers of cyst, methods of surgery, complications and mortality. Data were descriptively analyzed. Results: There were 19 patients of abdominal hydatid cysts who underwent surgery during the study period. Five records files could not be accessed and were excluded. In remaining 14, male were 6 (42.85%), female 8 (57.15%), mean age 39.57±17.35 years (14-70), cyst size 11±4.22 cm (5-21), complain of abdominal pain in 10 (71%). Open surgery for liver cyst was done in 11 and laparoscopic in one, and open splenectomy for two splenic cysts. One patient developed superficial wound infection. Four had cystobiliary communication of which one underwent ERCP. Post ERCP patient developed acute severe pancreatitis and expired.Mean hospital was 8.57±2.24 days (6-14). Conclusions: Liver was the main organ involved, abdominal pain and lump were main presenting complaints. Surgery had successful outcome. Open surgery was the mainstay of treatment.

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.

Abstract BackgroundHydatid disease is endemic in some regions of the world. Even in endemic regions, splenic hydatid cysts are rare, especially in pregnancy. The most serious presentation is intra peritoneal rupture, which is a surgical emergency. Exploration with splenectomy is the favoured management.Case presentationWe present a case of splenic hydatid cyst detected late in pregnancy, which presented with intraperitoneal rupture in the postpartum period. A brief review in the context is also presented.ConclusionCystic lesions located anywhere in the body in endemic regions could be hydatid cysts. Prompt treatment should be planned immediately on detection in order to prevent potentially serious complications like rupture.

Abstract Hydatid cysts, which are endemic to certain areas, typically are found in the liver. Spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture, which can be life threatening, is rare. This article presents a case of spontaneous rupture of a hydatid cyst in a 69-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency department. The patient had no history of trauma. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography suggested rupture of a hydatid cyst. The patient underwent a partial cystectomy, and the cystic area was washed with hypertonic saline and the peritoneal cavity was washed with isotonic saline and drained. Postoperatively, the patient was treated with albendazole for 3 months. No additional pathology was observed at the 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups. Although rare, a ruptured hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen in a patient residing in an endemic area.
