Cardiac hydatid cysts are rarely seen. The presentation of an acute lower limb ischemia secondary to embolization from an interventricular hydatic cyst is also rare. We describe a case of a 30-year-old-man who presented with acute lower limb ischemia revealing hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum and septal defect, and who was operated on successfully.

Acute and recurrent ischemic episodes in multiple vascular territories in acute leukemia are unusual and rare. Only some cases have been reported. In most of these cases, the diagnosis was acute promyelocytic leukemia (type 3). We report in this paper a case of acute myeloid leukemia (type 1) revealed by acute upper limb ischemia associated to recurrent stroke in a 55 year-old patient.

Introduction: Cardiac hydatid disease is a rare, but it is potentially a life-threatening pathology. It has fatal complications such as valvular dysfunction, free wall rupture, embolism, anaphylactic reactions, conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure.

Pseudo-aneurysm are due to arterial wall disruption leading to the formation of a perfused sac that communicates with the arterial lumen. This entity remains at highly significant risk of rupture. The majority of cases are presenting as haemothorax.Intercostal artery pseudo-aneurysms are extremely rare, most of them were associated with surgical interventions or blunt thoracic trauma, only one case was reported after a knife stabbing wound.We describe the case of a young male patient who was stabbed with a knife in his posterior left chest side and was first operated to evacuate a contained hematoma only to re-consult after 20 days for a pulsatile mass which proved to be an intercostal artery pseudo-aneurysm. The patient was successfully surgically managed and was discharged 4 days after the surgery.
