[Rare cause of ischemic cerebrovascular infarct in a young patient: cardiac hydatic cyst].
The authors report the case of a 28-year-old man in whom the diagnosis of hydatic cyst of the heart was strongly suspected on echocardiography and CT-scan and confirmed by surgery. The interest of this case is based the total clinical latency of this hydatic cyst discovered by echocardiography during a systematic checkup for cerebrovascular disorders. Echocardiography and spiral scanography with bidimensionnal reconstruction in coronal and sagittal planes allowed a rapid anatomic and topographic diagnosis. CT-scan also identified spread of echinococcosis and discovered a calcifield hydatid cyst of the liver and a multivesicular hydatid cyst of the left kidney.
