title: CT findings and surgical treatment of double intracranial echinococcal cysts.
abstract: The authors present a young male patient with two intracranial lesions, one in the left occipital lobe, the other in the left temporal lobe. These masses were totally removed and both proved to be alveolar hydatid cysts. Surgery for a large hepatic mass, diagnosed after the first craniotomy, was refused by the patient.
