“…On MRI, the low signal intensity cystic wall showed better contrast with the fluid content on T2-weighted images where it presented with high signal intensity as compared to T1-weighted images where the fluid content presented with low signal intensities, not very different from those of the cystic wall. Our observations are in agreement with the results of other investigators [9,10].…”

“…In a limited number of cases presented in the radiological literature [9][10][11][12], MRI findings are correlative with CT findings, although significant and misleading differences exist especially related to T2-weighted images.…”

“…In the last 15 years, hydatid disease has been studied extensively by ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]; however, a limited number of studies with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exists in the radiological literature [9][10][11][12]. Similarities of hydatid disease with other space-occupying lesions [13,14] raise the need for a more detailed study of hydatid disCorrespondence to: A. Kalovidouris ease with MRI.…”

Seventy hydatid cysts in 30 patients were studied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT); all cases were confirmed surgically. MRI detected all cysts when confined to solid organs, whereas small-sized cysts (< or = 2 cm) may be missed when located in the peritoneal cavity. Hydatid cysts of less than 3 cm (noncomplicated) present no specific findings of hydatid disease. MRI findings suggesting hydatid disease demonstrate a relatively thick hydatid cyst wall, daughter cysts, and germinal membrane detachment. T2-weighted images proved to be superior to T1- or PD-weighted images in demonstrating hydatid cyst wall thickness, germinal membrane detachment, and daughter cysts. In all spin-echo sequences, the maternal cystic content presented much higher signal intensities than that of daughter cysts. This difference in signal intensity is more obvious in T2-weighted images, except in complicated, infected cases. CT proved to be superior to MRI in demonstrating wall calcifications.

“…They have thin walls resembling the pericyst, with internal small daughter cysts appear on US scan. 3,6,7 (Figure 1). Simple cysts do not demonstrate internal structures, although multiple echogenic foci due to hydatid sand may be seen within the cyst by repositioning the patient (snow-storm sign).…”

“…Eğer kitlenin total çıkarılması olası değilse önce kist içi hipertonik saline solüsyonu ile irrige edilerek drenaj yapılmalı ve sonra eksize edilmelidir. Özellikle kitlenin çıkarılması sırasında parçalanma-sı veya ayırıcı tanı amacı ile biyopsi alınması ya da ponksiyon yapılması, hastalığın etraf dokulara yayıl-masına ve anaflaktik reaksiyona neden olabilir (5,14) . Eğer kiste ponksiyon yapılmışsa veya cerrahi sırasın-da etraf dokulara kontaminasyon olmuşsa, ek olarak albendazol tedavisine de başlanmalıdır.…”
