Long-term surgical outcome in patients with intracranial hydatid cyst
2006
Background. Cerebral hydatid cysts account for up to 3.6% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions, in endemic countries. The vast majority of patients affected are children. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have greatly contributed to a more accurate diagnosis of hydatids. However, correct pre-operative diagnosis still remains quite puzzling. Extirpation of the intact cyst is the treatment of choice, resulting in most cases to a complete recovery.
