“…Echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are effective diagnostic tools. [1][2][3][4] Surgical removal and 1-month albendazole therapy at a daily dose of 400 to 800 mg remain the keystone of treatment in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. 1,5,6 Intraventricular cysts have been reported in the literature.…”

“…Severe complications include rupture of the cysts, septic shock, and systemic embolism, with an estimated mortality rate of about 75%. 1,2 Although cysts located in the ventricular septum have been described previously, 1,3 multimodality imaging of such rare conditions is lacking. Here, we report an illustrative case with multiple cardiac cysts causing right ventricular dynamic obstruction and clinical deterioration.…”

We report the case of massive hydatic heart disease in a 50-year-old male patient referred to hospital for recent-onset dyspnea, atypical chest, and hypotension. Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was demonstrated to be caused by hypoechogenic formations at Doppler-echocardiography and confirmed to be hydatic cysts at cardiac magnetic resonance. These cysts developed within the right ventricular wall and the septum, and caused hemodynamic instability.

Cardiac hydatid cyst is a rare manifestation of Echinococcus infestation. It is mainly located in left ventricle followed by right ventricle, left atrium, pericardium, pulmonary artery in case of heart involvement. Herein we report a hydatid cyst in atrioventricular sulcus which is an unusual and rare location for cardiac hydatid cyst as demonstrated by three dimensional transthoracic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

“…classification by Gharbi et al and the World Health Organization (WHO) classification are the most commonly preferred [13][14]. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play an important role in the diagnostic armamentarium in helping diagnose and recognize the complications of hydatid cysts such as rupture and infection of cysts associated with hydatid disease [15].…”

Hydatid (Echinococcal) disease often involves the liver and lungs but in sporadic cases, it can involve cardiac structures. A 24-year-old male was referred with symptoms of cough and shortness of breath and a provisional diagnosis of metastatic disease of unknown primary to the lung, which was based on a chest X-ray (CXR). Incidentally, on echocardiogram, he was found to have right ventricular (RV) and myocardial multiseptated cysts, which were compatible with cardiac echinococcosis, as the patient had multiple bilateral lung cysts as well. Imaging with ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has ameliorated the diagnosis of hydatid disease location in various body parts. However, for earlier and accurate diagnosis, a high index of suspicion is required in endemic areas, especially in vulnerable populations such as pastoralists.
