Cerebral localization of hydatid cyst is rare (2%) and primarily affects children. We report the case of a young child 12 years old. Clinical symptoms are marked by high intracranial pressure. The diagnosis was confirmed by a Brain CT scan that revealed a large cystic parenchymal intraparietal, multiloculated, on the right hemisphere, with a thin wall partially calcified, evoking a hydatid cyst measuring (74x48mm) width (75mm) length the extracerebral localization was sought and w not found. Abdominal ultrasonography found a hydatid cyst of the liver. Hydatid serology was positive. Treatment was surgical, with a good outcome.
Nous rapportons un cas rare de kyste hydatique du psoas chez une patiente âgée de 79 ans, qui a présenté une tuméfaction de la face antéro-interne de la cuisse droite. L’échographie abdomino-pelvienne, la tomodensitométrie et la sérologie hydatique ont contribué au diagnostic préopératoire. Le traitement était chirurgical et a consisté en une périkystectomie totale par un abord rétropéritonéal. La masse a été enlevée en totalité par une approche rétropéritonéale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
