Periventricular hydatid cyst.
Periventricular localization of hydatid cyst is very rarely seen. A 5-year-old boy with periventricular hydatid cyst is presented. He had right hemiparesis and focal seizures. Computerized tomographic scan showed a hydatid cyst in the left periventricular area. Hydatid cyst was successfully removed. The postoperative course was uneventful.
