Interventricular septal ecchinococcosis associated with multiple intracranial hydatid cyst

Abstract

ÖZOtuz altı yaşında erkek hasta nörolojik yakınmalarla kliniğimize başvurdu. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda hastaya eşzamanlı kardiyak ve serebral kist hidatik tanısı konuldu. Ard arda iki farklı cerrahi girişim uygulanarak kalpteki ve beyindeki kistler başarıyla çıkarıldı. Hasta komplikasyonsuz taburcu edildi.Anah tar söz cük ler: Beyin; kalp; kist hidatik. ABSTRACTA 36-year-old male patient applied to our clinic with neurological complaints. As a result of analyses, the patient was diagnosed with concomitant cardiac and cerebral hydatid cyst. Two different subsequent surgical interventions were performed, and cardiac and brain cysts were extracted successfully. The patient was discharged without complications.

Fatal pulmonary embolism in an adolescent case: Cardiac and hepatic hydatic cyst

“…Occasionally, patients are lost secondary to anaphylactic shock, cardiac tamponade, and systemic or pulmonary embolization. The most life-threatening complication of cardiac hydatid cyst is perforation and with a reported intra-cardiac perforation frequency of 25 to 40%, [6][7][8][9][10] After cyst perforation, three quarters of the patients die from embolic complications.…”

“…[5] Decreasing order of frequency is right ventricle (10%), pericardium (7%), pulmonary artery (6%), atrial appendix (6%), and interventricular septum (4%). [6,7] Pulmonary artery localization is a rare form of hydatid cysts. Pulmonary cyst embolization is thought to be caused by rupture of visceral cysts and migration of daughter vesicles through venous circulation or by rupture of cardiac cysts in the right ventricle.…”
