Long-Term Follow-Up of a Complicated Rupture of Multiorgan Hydatid Cysts: A Case Report.

Hydatid disease (echinococcosis) remains a serious health problem in underdeveloped countries. Although the liver is the primary site of infection, other organs may also be involved. Multifocal involvement of multiple abdominal organs is rare but can occur. Spontaneous cyst rupture constitutes a critical surgical emergency with significant mortality. We discussed a case managed surgically for perforated hydatid disease. A two-year follow-up of a giant complicated cyst involving the liver, stomach, and spleen was presented.
