Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Cerebral hydatid disease is rare accounting for only 1-2% of intracranial space occupying lesion and usually manifests as solitary cystic non enhancing lesions in the MCA territory distribution. It is even rarer to find multiple intracranial hydatid cysts. We hereby report an interesting and unusual presentation of a patient with multiple intracranial hydatid cysts, few showing inflammatory edema and minimal rim enhancement, a rare manifestation.
