Amaç: Kist Hidatik (KH) hastalığı Echinococcus granulosus’a bağlı gelişen parazitik bir enfestasyondur. Olguların %50-70’inde karaciğer tutulumu olur. Karaciğer hidatik kistli olgularda en sık karşılaşılan komplikasyon, kistobilier ilişkinin olmasıdır. Çocuk karaciğer kist hidatikli olgularda, yüksek mortalite ve morbidite saptanan erişkin serileri ile karşılaştırıldığında, düşük komplikasyon oranları görülmektedir. Çalışmamızda karaciğer kist hidatikli çocuk olgularımızda saptadığımız komplikasyonlar değerlendirilerek literatürdeki erişkin serileri ile karşılaştırıldı.Metod: Karaciğer kist hidatikli 74 olgu geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Hidatid kist tanısı tüm olgularda radyolojik incelemeler ile konuldu. Olgularımız ortalama 30 ay izlemde tutuldular.Bulgular: 2-15 yaş arasında (ortalama 9.5 yaş) 44 kız, 30 erkek olgu değerlendirmeye alındı. 74 olguda toplam 94 karaciğer hidatik kisti tedavi edildi. Serimizdeki olguların hiçbirinde ameliyat öncesi tıkanma sarılığı ve kolanjit bulguları saptanmadı. Üç olguda (%4) kist tekrarladı. Bir olguda (%1.3) uzamış safra drenajı ile karşılaşıldı. Dört olguda (% 5.4) 5 mm’nin altında safra yolu açıklığı gözlendi. Bir olgumuzda operasyon sırasında anaflaktik reaksiyon ile karşılaşıldı. Serimizde kaybedilen olgu olmadı.Sonuç: Erişkin serilerinin aksine komplike karaciğer kist hidatiği ile çocuk olgularda karşılaşmadık. Bu çalışmaya göre erişkinde karaciğer kist hidatiği hastalığı için belirlenen kist büyüklüğü, kistin lokalizasyonu gibi morbidite göstergeleri çocuk olgularda aynı şekilde morbiditeyi etkilemeyebilir. Bu nedenle çocuklarda özellikle bilier sisteme yönelik cerrahi girişimlerden kaçınılması vurgulanmak istenmiştir.
Background: Hydatid disease (HD) is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The liver is involved in 50-70 % of the cases. Cystobiliary communication is the most common complication of hepatic hydatid cysts. Low frequency of the complications of liver hydatid disease is noted in children when compared to adult series with high mortality and morbidity.We present our experience of complications in childhood liver hydatid cyst disease and compare the results with adult series.Methods: Seventy four cases of HD have been evaluated retrospectively. The diagnosis of HD was made on the basis of radiologic imaging methods. The median follow-up period was 30 months.Results: There were 44 females and 30 males, age ranging from 2 to 15 years (mean 9.5 years). Overall 94 liver hydatid cysts in 74 patients were treated. Obstructive jaundice and signs of cholangitis were not noted preoperatively in our series. Recurrence of cyst was seen in three patients (4%). Prolonged bilier drainage was seen in one patient (1.3%). Four patients (5.4 %) of our series had biliary opening up tosize of 5 mm . Anaphlactic reaction was seen in one patient intraoperatively. There were no mortalities.Conclusion: Unlike adult series we did not encountered complicated cyst hydatid disease in childhood. Predictors of morbidity for liver hydatid cyst in adults like age, size of the cyst, location of the cyst are not valid predictors in children. Therefore surgeons must be avoid of surgical procedure in children especially at biliary system

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
