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.

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.

Hepatic Hydatid

AbstractBiliary communication in hepatic hydatid cyst is reported in 1–20% of patients. These patients present with fever (70–90%), right upper quadrant pain (80%), cholangitis (20–37%), acute pancreatitis (rare), liver abscess, and septicemia. Diagnosis of biliary rupture is on abdominal ultrasound, computerized tomography, and/or magnetic resonance imaging demonstration of hydatid membranes. We report a case of rupture hydatid cyst where diagnosis was on endosonographic findings and the patient had normal caliber common bile duct.

Abstract We report a case of cerebellar schwannoma in a 64-year-old woman. The tumor was defined on computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans and confirmed on surgery. The solid part of the tumor appeared to be derived from the inferior vermis of the cerebellum, the cystic part extending toward the medulla oblongata and the foramen magnum. The problem of preoperative diagnosis based on magnetic resonance imaging findings is discussed.

Abstract The authors have treated a 20-year-old man with a dorsal intramedullary epidermoid cyst in whom magnetic resonance imaging was performed both before evacuation of the cyst and 3 months later. Intraspinal epidermoid tumors are rare, and the intramedullary location is quite uncommon. To our knowledge, this is the first description of magnetic resonance imaging of an intramedullary epidermoid cyst. The frequency, possibilities, and limits of surgical treatment of such intraspinal benign tumors are reviewed.

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.

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
