“…With an increasing number of small series and case reports on intracranial hydatid disease from Turkey, it seemed appropriate to review these cases. Review of the literature from Turkey yielded 276 potential cases of intracranial hydatid cyst so far, eight of which were caused by E. multilocularis [2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,41,42,43,45,46,47,48,51,52,53,54,55,56,60,62,63,65,67,68,69,70,71].

Hydatid disease is still a major health problem in the infested areas of the world, especially in rural areas. Two hundred seventy-six Turkish cases with intracranial hydatidosis have been published since 1960. Based on the records of these cases, the clinical data, neuroradiological findings, treatment, and outcome of intracranial hydatidosis are reviewed. Demographically seen, there was a substantial prevalence of male patients--167 cases (61%). Most of the patients with intracranial hydatidosis were from rural areas and the cysts were generally located in the cerebral hemispheres. In 100 patients, two or three lobes were affected and the cysts were multiple in 53. This infestation was also reported in rare locations such as the ventricular system, extradural space, posterior fossa, pons, sella turcica, parasellar area, and cavernous sinus. Only 49 patients (18%) had other organ infestation. The majority were operated on immediately after diagnosis was established. Operative mortality was 9% and postoperative complications developed in 26 patients. In my reference studies, only 16 cases of recurrence have been seen. This study confirms that hydatid disease is a difficult health problem in Turkey and demonstrates that surgery plus chemotherapy has considerably improved the prognosis, but local disinfectant application is not useful to devitalize the cystic contents. The dimensions, localization and numbers of the cysts are important determinants of the outcome.

Kist Hidatik paraziter bir hastalıktır. Ana konak genellikle köpeklerin bağırsağı olup parazit larvaları su ve kontamine yiyeceklerle bulaşır. İntrakranial yerleşimli kist hidatik nadirdir. İntrakranial kist hidatik olgularının yaklaşık %75'i çocuklarda izlenir. Bu yazımızda primer intrakranial tutulumu olan operasyondan 5 ay sonra alt ekstremite tutulumu izlenen pediatrik kist hidatik olgusu klinik, radyolojik ve histopatolojik verilerle sunulmuştur.

Growth rate of multiple intracranial hydatid cysts assessed by CT from the time of embolisation

Abstract: We report the case of a 25-year-old man with multiple bilateral hydatid cysts of the brain in whom we were able to assess the growth rate of the cysts on repeated examination. On average, the cysts increased in diameter by 1 cm per month.
