Acute uremia and intestinal obstruction due to a retroperitoneal hydatid cyst.
Hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cystic mass in endemic areas. The symptoms due to bulk effect, usually occurring over a certain period of time, depend on the site and size of the cyst. We report an unusual presentation of retroperitoneal hydatid cyst with rapidly developing uremia and acute intestinal obstruction.
