MR imaging in hydatid disease of the liver

Abstract: We describe the appearance on MR of hydatid disease of the liver in 2 patients. The lesions were well demonstrated using spin-echo pulse sequences, and could be easily seen with either T1 or T2 weighting; however, maximum information was obtained using both. In these 2 cases, a thin, low signal boundary was noted around the cysts; this finding may prove useful in differential diagnosis.

“…[3637] In patients with negative serology and inderminant USG and CT investigations, MRI has been described as helpful. MRI can differentiate parasitic, nonparasitic, or traumatic cysts by demonstrating “low-signal intensity rim” – so-called RIM SIGN and has been described as characteristic of hydatidosis.…”

“…[1] have recently described a possibly characteristic MR finding of intrahepatic hydatid cysts: a thin, lowintensity rim most likely representing the pericyst. We studied a patient with a symptomatic intrahepatic hydatid cyst with MR imaging and correctly diagnosed a pericyst rupture on the basis of demonstration of extrusion of cyst contents (daughter cysts and matrix) through two defects in the lowintensity capsule.…”

“…Andere parenchymatösen Organe können allein oder in Kombination betroffen sein. Die klinische Symptomatik richtet sich nach der Organlokalisation.Bei Leberbefall sind die Abdomen-Sonographie oder die Computertomographie am aussagekräftigsten(1,8,14,15), hingegen ergibt sich für die Magnetresonanz-Tomographie (MRT) keine eindeutige Indikation(10,15). Im Computertomogramm (CT) der Leber stellt sich eine Echinokokkenzyste -ohne Binnenstruktur, septiert, mit Tochterzysten oder mit kollabierter Membran -jeweils mit wasserähnlicher Densität des Zysteninhalts dar.…”
