Title: A large cardiac hydatid cyst in the interventricular septum

Biography

Biography: Hela Sarray

Abstract

Isolated cardiac location is uncommon presentation of echinococcosis (0.5–2%) and involvement of the interventricular septum is even rarer. It may lead to various complications because of rupture and embolization. We report the case of a 26 - year- old man who was diagnosed to have a large inter-ventricular hydatid cyst. Presentation, management and follow-up of the patient are discussed. This case is of particular interest because of the rarity of septal localization of a hydatid cyst, and the conflict between the severity of the complications that occurred and the absence of correlated symptoms.
