AbstractHydatid disease is a severe zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Cerebral hydatid cysts are uncommon and constitute only 0.5?3% of all cases with hydatid cysts. Cerebral hydatid cyst is common in childhood, and 50?75% of cases involving the central nervous system occur in the pediatric population. Patients with intracranial giant hydatid cyst require early diagnosis and urgent operative intervention. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography play a key role in early diagnosis and detection of complications such as hydrocephalus and brain herniation.. In this paper, we present images of a case involving a five-year-old female with a giant intracranial hydatid cyst causing hydrocephalus and subfalcine herniation. |

ÖzetHidatik kist, bir sestod türü olan Ekinokokosis granüloza tarafından oluşturulan zoonotik enfeksiyondur.Serebral hidatik kist nadir olup, bütün hidatik kist olgularının % 0,5-3'ünü oluşturur. Santral sinir sistemi tutulumu olan çocuklarda, beyin yaklaşık % 50-75 oranında tutulur.Sonuç olarak, intrakranial dev hidatik kist olgularında artmış kafa içi basıncı ve herniasyona ait klinik bulgular var ise yüksek mortalite ile seyredebilir ve acil olarak opere edilmelidir. Biz bu yazıda, subfalsiyan, transtentorial herniasyon ve hidrosefaliye neden olan dev intrakranial kist hidatikli bir olguyu sunduk. |
