“…The information on this type of cyst was derived from 88 articles, 33 of which were published in national Turkish journals and 55 in international journals (Tables 1, 2) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11,13,14,16,17,18,19,21,22,23,25,26,27,29,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,…”

Despite the inherent limitations, this type of study indicates that the incidence of hydatidosis has not decreased in Turkey in recent years. The clinical findings were mostly atypical, and it was interesting that 4 patients were described as having cerebrovascular occlusive disease and 3 as having symptoms of movement disorders. Computed tomography and/or MRI techniques were extremely useful, both in reaching the correct diagnosis and for proper surgical management of hydatid disease, because of the absence of a pathognomonic clinical picture of this disease. The treatment of choice for hydatid disease of the CNS and its coverings was complete intact removal of the cyst. In contrast to that in intracranial hydatid cysts, however, surgical intervention was palliative, not curative, in almost all cases of intraspinal hydatidosis. According to this critical review of the literature, CNS hydatidosis is therefore still a life-threatening condition, in spite of all the advances in imaging techniques and therapeutic methods. The most important factors in prognosis are the localization of the focus of infection, rupture and of the cyst and dissemination of its content, and treatment modality. At present, surgical intervention preceded by careful neuroradiological evaluation remains the best surgical therapy, and this plus adjuvant chemotherapy is advocated in some cases as the gold standard for therapy.

“…It has been mentioned that hydatid disease is located in the intracranial cavity in only 0.5-3% of all cases [11,24,25,28,30,32,40,54,61,74]. In a similar fashion, intraspinal involvement is also uncommon, being found in 0.5-2% of all cases of hydatidosis [4,58,77,89].…”

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.

A 26-year-old woman in the 28th week of pregnancy presented with a primary cerebral hydatid cyst manifesting as deteriorating consciousness and weakness in the left arm and leg. Cranial computed tomography revealed an intracranial hydatid cyst. The cyst was surgically removed and albendazole was administered. The patient had a spontaneous vaginal term delivery and no problem was observed in the mother or child. No primary focus was found in the lungs, liver, and other organs. Hydatid cyst is still an important disease. Intracranial hydatid cyst without primary foci in organs such as the liver and lungs is very rare. Primary cerebral hydatid cyst during pregnancy can be successfully treated by surgical and medical intervention.
