Isolated Pericardial Hydatid Cyst

Abstract

Cardiac hydatid cyst is an uncommon disease, mostly involving the myocardium. Involvement of the pericardium or isolated pericardial hydatid cysts are extremely rare and therefore can mimic other pericardial cystic diseases. Herein we present the radiological and surgical findings of an asymptomatic isolated pericardial hydatid cyst

Isolated Pericardial Hydatid Cyst

Abstract

Kardiyak hidatik kist sıklıkla miyokardı tutan sık görülmeyen bir hastalıktır. Perikardiyumun tutulması veya izole perikardiyal hidatik kist son derece nadirdir ve bu yüzden diğer perikardiyal kistik hastalıkları taklit edebilir. Bu yazıda asemptomatik izole perikardiyal hidatik kistin radyolojik ve cerrahi bulgularını sunuyoruz

Keywords
