[Diagnosis and treatment of hepatic cysts].
Hepatic cysts are at the present time of widespread use of abdominal ultrasonography a frequent finding. The authors summarize contemporary diagnostic possibilities of liver cysts and submit variants of the therapeutic procedure in case of symptomatic liver cysts. They present their own experience with the treatment of hepatic cysts by the evaluation method combined with administration of 96% ethanol into the cyst. They compare this therapeutic procedure with the method of simple evaluation of the contents of the cyst. The method of evaluation of hepatic cysts under ultrasonographic control with subsequent administration of 96% alcohol appears to be more successful from the aspect of the long-term effect, manifested by the disappearance of clinical symptoms and non-refilling of the cyst.
