MRI of abdominal hydatid disease

Abstract: 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 germi… Show more

“…In multicystic hydatid cysts the maternal fluid shows SI higher than that of daughter-cyst fluid in all spin-echo sequences, but these differences are more obvious on proton-density and T2-weighted images [1] This classical appearance was seen in one of our cases. In another case a parallel increase in SIs in the maternal-and daughter-cyst fluid resulted in no visualization of daughter cysts on T2-weighted images.…”

“…USG yumuşak dokuda solid lezyon ile kistik lezyon ayrımını yaparak, BT kemik yapıdaki destrüksiyon ve kist duvarındaki kalsifikasyonları saptayarak, MR ise kist duvarindaki rölatif kalınlaşmayı, kız kistleri ve germinal membranda ayrılma gibi bulguları saptayarak kist hidatik tanısında yardımcı olmaktadırlar (17). Olgumuza polikliniğe başvurusu sonrası USG ve MR istenmiş, sonuçların kist hidatik ile uyumlu olması üzerine tanıya yaklaşılmıştır.…”

“…Eine Zyste imponiert dabei in der T2-Sequenz als hypointense Raumforderung. Von besonderem Nutzen ist die Magnetresonanztomographie bei der Unterscheidung zwischen multilokularen und unilokularen Zysten [16]. Auch die räum-lichen Beziehungen zu den großen hepatischen Venen lassen sich in der Magnetresonanztomographie zuverlässiger beurteilen [17].…”
