title: [Hydatid cyst of the heart of multivesicle type. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 30 year-old man on whom the diagnosis of hydatic cyst of the heart (HKC) was strongly suspected on bi-dimensional echocardiography and confirmed by surgery. This case is interesting because this HCH, completely latent clinically, was discovered by echocardiography performed in view of a localized infra-epicardic ischemia, the major contribution of bi-dimensional electrocardiography enabling to make a quick and easy anatomical and topographic diagnosis, the primary nature of this hydatic localization which does not affect any other organ, and finally the multivesicle aspect of the cyst, rather unusual in single localizations of hydatic cyst of the heart. A brief review of the literature is then presented.
