“…7 Hydatid serology is not useful for the diagnosis of cerebral hydatid cysts, as it is positive in only 20% of cases. 3 Once the diagnosis has been made, the search for hepatic and pulmonary locations is systematic, especially in adults. Cerebral hydatid cysts in children are often primary.…”

“…Cerebral hydatid cysts in children are often primary. 3 The diagnosis of cerebral hydatid cysts is often easy given the epidemiological context and a good radiological analysis. However, the differential diagnosis can be made with certain cystic lesions: arachnoid cyst, leptomeningeal cyst, epidermoid cyst, porencephalic cavity, cystic astrocytoma, craniopharyngioma, and brain abscess.…”

Echinococcosis and alveococcosis of the brain in the practice of a neurosurgeon (a review literature and clinical cases)

“…При введении парамагнетика не отмечается усиления сигнала от стенки кисты [2,6,11]. Кальцификаты не характерны и встречаются очень редко, возможны при дегенерации кисты [11,30,31].
