[Repeated strokes as a sign of multiple cerebral hydatid cysts].
A female patient with primary multiple cerebral hydatid cysts is described. Initial deterioration was followed several months later by reversible episodes of right hemiparesis, aphasia and sphincteral incontinence. This clinical picture has not been described in the literature and the etiopathogenic mechanism is uncertain.
