Primary Peritoneal Echinoccocosis: An Uncommon Cause Of Acute Abdomen

Abstract

Echinococcosis is characterized by worldwide distribution but primary peritoneal echinoccosis especially as a cause of acute abdomen is rare, even in areas where hydatid disease is endemic. The aim of this work is to report a case of primary multiple infected intraperitoneal hydatid cyst as a cause of acute abdomen.
