Rare Case of Intracranial Calcified Hydatid Cyst

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Cerebral hydatid disease is a rare manifestation of echinococcosis, constituting significant fraction of all intracranial mass occupying lesions. We report a case of 12-year-old boy, a shepherd by occupation, who presented to us with headache, vomiting and giddiness. A calcified intracranial cystic mass was found on radiological investigations and it was surgically excised totally, with no post operative complications. Calcification is quite rare in cerebral hydatid cyst. The radiological presentation, differential diagnosis and treatment modalities are discussed in relation to this case
