[Rupture of hydatid cyst of the liver into the duodenum. A case report].
BACKGROUND
Rupture of hydatid cyst in the digestive tract is a rare complication even in endemic areas.


OBJECTIVE
Authors report a case of a hydatid cyst of the left hepatic lobe ruptured in the duodenum


METHODS
was discovered at the occasion of epigastric pain and vomiting. Ct-scan revealed presence of air in a calcified hydatid cyst of the left liver lobe and a fistulous tract between the cyst and the duodenum. Endoscopy confirmed the diagnosis by the visualisation of a fistulous orifice of the anterior aspect of the first duodenum with a protrusion of hydatid membrane. Patient was treated surgically and had a partial cysto-pericystectomy and suture of duodenum.
