title: [Renal hydatid cyst. Contribution of radiology apropos of a case].
abstract: Hydatid disease, an infestation of gastrointestinal origin, is essentially localized in the two principal filters of the body, the liver and the lung (80% of localizations); 20% correspond to a random distribution (brain, bones, kidneys, etc.). The observation of a new case of rare renal infestation (1 to 5% of all hydatid cysts) constitutes an occasion to review the role of various radiological investigations in this disease. Computed tomography has a role in the diagnosis which is complementary to that of plan abdominal x-rays and ultrasonography. Intravenous pyelography may be performed subsequently. It has an essential role in the systematic investigation of other localizations.
