title: Hydatid cyst of the abdominal aorta and bilateral common iliac arteries. A case report.
abstract: Hydatid disease, a parasitic infestation, is endemic in live-stock raising countries where the custom of feeding offal to dogs prevails. Though infestation of any part of the human body can occur, arterial involvement is a rare affliction. We report here the first case in which abdominal aorta and bilateral iliac arteries were totally occluded with intraluminal cysts.
