Sol Ventrikül Duvarına Yerleşimli Kardiyak Kist Hidatik: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Kist hidatik ülkemizde endemik görülen bir hastalıktır. Kardiyak kist hidatik, hastalığın endemik olduğu bölgelerde bile nadirdir. Fatal komplikasyonlarının sık olması nedeni ile erken tanısı ve tedavisi önem taşımaktadır. İki-boyutlu ekokardiyografi başta olmak üzere bilgisayarlı tomografi(BT) ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme diğer önemli tanı yöntemleridir. Sol ventriküler ekinokokkosiz vakasının bilgisayarlı tomografi ve ekokardiografi bulgularını literatür bilgileri eşliğinde sunuyoruz.
