[Hepatic hydatid cyst. Ultrasonography study].
Fifty four patients with hepatic hydatidosis were studied by means of ecotomography. All were operated on. The sensitivity of ecotomography was 83%. Six different types of images were characterized in this study: calcificated cyst, cyst with collapsed membranes, multiloculated cyst, univesicular, pseudotumoral and cyst with absorption of the sound. The three first types of images of the cyst can suggest the diagnosis, but the others produce diagnosis problems.
