[Heart hydatidosis diagnoses with bidimensional echocardiography].
A case of calcificated intramyocardiac hydatid cyst is presented. The initial diagnosis was coronary artery disease and the onset was chest pain and typical abnormalities of the electrocardiogram. The diagnosis of hydatid disease was suspected from chest roentgenogram and confirmed by two-dimensional echocardiography and left ventriculography. Coronary arteriography was normal and surgical treatment successfully carried out.
