“…Management still necessitates surgical repair. 5 Other investigators have also reported the involvement of Echinococcosis granulosus in the ascending aorta, 4 thoracic aorta 6 and abdominal and iliac arteries. 7 The present case was challenging because the initial diagnosis was a non-infectious saccular aneurysm.…”

“…Although a number of reports indicate that the presentation is nonspecific, potential adverse outcomes occur owing to embolization secondary to aortic hydatid disease. 4,8 Peripheral and visceral embolic events have substantial morbidities, which necessitate timely diagnosis and treatment of the aortic hydatidosis. It is essential that aortic echinococcal disease be considered in the differential diagnosis of aortic pseudoaneurysms and saccular aneurysms.…”

Background/Objective Hydatid disease of the aorta is very rare. Hydatid disease can result in saccular aneurysm of the thoracic and abdominal aorta. Case report We report a rare case of saccular aneurysm of the distal descending thoracic aorta. The diameter of the aneurysm was 60 mm. It was managed by Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair. After 41 months, computed tomography angiography revealed a multi-loculated cystic lesion with 86 × 83×80 mm dimensions in the prevertebral area at the T10-T11 level with bony destruction and erosion of the anterior margin of the vertebral bodies. A computed tomography-guided fine-needle aspiration of the paravertebral cystic lesion was performed. Microscopic study of the fine-needle aspiration specimen demonstrated Echinococcosis granulosus diagnostic of hydatid disease. Conclusion It is concluded that the case was a mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta secondary to vertebral hydatid disease.

“…The aortic wall may also be involved secondary to invasion of the cyst from adjacent tissues (7, 8) similar to that which we had encountered. Aortic involvement may display as pseudoaneurysm (7–9), organ ischemia due to aortic occlusion (5, 6), remote ischemia due to daughter cysts embolization (10, 11, 12), simple cystic mass (3), or even aortobronchial fistula (12). Treatment in all patients with aortic involvement consists of surgical resection of the cyst and its content, and long-term medical therapy.…”

Cystic echinococcosis is a common parasitic disease in some areas and involves different organs with different presentations. Rural areas in our country are endemic with this disease. We present a case of echinococcal aortic involvement that was diagnosed incidentally by a routine chest radiogram as a mediastinal mass. Cystic echinococcosis was established as final diagnosis after magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ELISA studies. The patient was treated surgically through a thoracotomy and her aortic defect was repaired during the operation. She has been asymptomatic and complication free in physical examination and imaging study in follow up periods after two years. Awareness of various presentations of the disease is necessary for physicians who are occupied in endemic areas. It is rational to treat echinococcal cysts adjacent to the great vessels with the cooperation of a vascular surgeon.

“…2 Thus, aortic involvement is very rare. 3,4 Our patient's clinical picture was probably due to cerebral emboli derived from thrombotic lesions surrounding hydatid cysts in the aortic arch. He benefited from vascular surgery.…”
