Multiple Cerebral Hydatic Cyst Developed After Operation of Cardiac Hydatic Cyst: A Case Report.

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease and is an important health problem, especially in developing countries. Hydatic cysts are typically observed in the liver and lungs. Cardiac and brain involvement are rare manifestations. Cardiac hydatic cysts are usually located in the left ventricle. Brain involvement is frequently seen as a primary cerebral cyst and is almost always solitary. However, secondary intracerebral cysts are also seen as a result of cardiac cysts rupturing into the left ventricle spontaneously or iatrogenically, and these are usually multiple. Herein, we report a case that has two rare clinical manifestations of hydatid cysts.
