[Hydatic pulmonary embolism complicating a cardiac hydatic cyst. A case report].
Hydatic pulmonary embolism: complication of a cardiac hydatic cyst:a case report hydatic cardiac cyst is a rare condition and represents only 0.5 to 2% of all visceral localisations of the hydatid disease. We reported a 28 year old patient with a multiple hydatic pulmonary embolism caused by the rupture of a hydatic cyst of the interventricular septum. The diagnosis was established by transthoracic echocardiography and CT Scan. Surgery was performed without delay and the outcome was good after a five month follow-up. This case illustrates the diagnostic value of the non invasive imaging means in hydatic cyst of the heart and underlines the importance of surgery realized before complications occur.
