Mycardial hydatid cyst ruptured into the pericardium: cross-sectional echocardiographic study and surgical treatment

Pericardial hydatid cyst presenting with cardiac tamponade

“…Symptoms of a pericardial hydatid cyst are generally due to the pressure exerted on the myocardium by an enlarging cyst or due to rupture of the cyst. Rupture of hydatid cysts into the pericardial cavity may lead to pericarditis with effusion, cardiac tamponade and formation of secondary cysts (7,8). In the present case, the disease manifested with pericarditis with effusion and cardiac tamponade.…”

“…Echocardiography is the diagnostic tool of choice because it is noninvasive, easily performed, and has a high sensitivity in the determination of intracardiac hydatid cysts and in planning surgical intervention (4,7,8).…”

Isolated pericardial echinococcosis: Perioperative transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation

“…2e6 Rupture of HC into the pericardial cavity may lead to pericarditis with effusion (as in the first case), cardiac tamponade and formation of secondary cysts. 7 TTE can detect HC as small as 0.5 cm 8 Transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) determination of number, size, location of the cysts involving the heart and great blood vessels is of great help for a successful surgical treatment and makes it the imaging method of choice for the diagnosis of cardiac echinococcosis. 2e4,9e11 As per echocardiographic classification of cardiac echinococcosis (ce) by Tufekcioglu et al 12 CE lesions are classified into:…”

Cardiac Hydatid Cysts Are Localized Left Ventricular Wall: A Case Report

“…Kardiyak kist hidatik olgularına oldukça nadir rastlanır 6,7 . Tüm ekinokokkozis vakalarının %0.5 ile %2'sini oluşturur 2,3,5 . Kistin kalbin içerisindeki dağılımı o bölgeye gelen kan dolasımının miktarına bağlıdır.…”

“…Kistin kalbin içerisindeki dağılımı o bölgeye gelen kan dolasımının miktarına bağlıdır. Kan dolasımı-nın fazla olduğu sol ventrikül miyokardında kardiyak kist hidatik daha fazla görülür (%55-60) 5,8 . İnterventriküler septumda %5-9, sağ atriyal duvarda %3-4, sağ ventrikül miyokardında %15, sol atriumda %8, pulmoner arterde %7 ve perikardiyumda %8 oranında rapor edilmistir 5 .…”
