title: Abdominal and pelvic hydatid disease during pregnancy.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Hydatid disease is an infection of sheep and cattle. Affected human beings are only chance intermediate hosts. It is a rare condition in pregnancy.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a 15-week pregnant patient with cysts in the liver and in the right adnexa identified by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. Diagnosis of hydatid disease was confirmed by an indirect hemagglutination test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient underwent laparotomy and a healthy baby was delivered at term.
