Hydatid cyst commonly affects liver and lung. Cardiac hydatid cyst is an extremely rare disease, due to the development in the heart of the larval form of Taenia Echinococcus granulosus. The diagnosis of this location is difficult due to the absence of specific clinical signs, and its prognosis is often guarded due to the risk of rupture and hematogenous dissemination. Clinical polymorphism, latency and severity of complications are the essential characteristics. We report the case of a child who has this exceptional location of hydatic cyst. The aim of this study is to report the presentation and management of cardiac Hydatid diseases.

Pompe disease, is a rare severe, autosomal, recessive, and progressive genetic disorder caused by deficiency in alpha-glucosidase. The classic infantile-onset is the most broadly known form of Pompe disease, which presents with severe heart involvement and clear hypotonia, while the non-classic presentation occurs with early motor involvement. Late-onset Pompe disease develops in adults, but it may also occur during childhood or adolescence. We report a retrospective and descriptive study of a series of five Moroccan patients with confirmed diagnosis of IOPD; and we update the available clinical and diagnostic findings because an early management with enzyme replacement therapy may improve patients’ survival and quality of life.
