title: [Echocardiographic diagnosis of a hydatid cyst localized at the intraventricular septum].
abstract: A patient with case of an hydatid cyst located in the interventricular septum is presented. The two-dimensional echocardiography clearly visualized the cystic configuration of the disease, demonstrating its great usefulness for detecting this type of cardiac pathology. The patient underwent surgery with extracorporeal circulation. In this article we also discuss the surgical indications of this pathology.
