Abstract

Echinococcus larval stage or a hydatid cyst, a parasitic disease that passes from animals to humans. Echinococcus granulosus and, less commonly, Echinococcus multilocularis species cause the disease. Intracranial echinococcosis is rare, with an incidence of approximately 1%-2%. Primary and secondary intracranial hydatid cysts can be found. A primary one, the most common type, is always solitary. CT and MRI have significantly contributed to the accurate diagnosis of hydatids. Surgical removal of the cyst is the treatment of choice, resulting in most cases in a complete recovery. In this report, we aim to emphasize the presentation of such an isolated primary cerebral hydatid cyst in a 5-year-old girl with neurological symptoms of a space-occupying lesion. Radiology revealed a giant left frontoparietal hydatid cyst. A cerebral hydatid cyst was operated on. The patient showed an uneventful recovery and was discharged. There was no recurrence at follow-up.

5岁女性单发巨大额顶叶轴内包虫囊肿1例报告及文献复习。

棘球蚴幼虫期或包虫病，一种从动物传染给人类的寄生虫病。细粒棘球绦虫和不太常见的多房棘球绦虫引起该病。颅内棘球蚴病是罕见的，发病率约为1%-2%。原发性和继发性颅内包虫囊肿均可发现。一个主要的，最常见的类型，总是孤独的。CT和MRI对包虫病的准确诊断有重要作用。手术切除囊肿是治疗的选择，导致大多数情况下完全恢复。在这篇报告中，我们的目的是强调在一个5岁的女孩中出现这样一个孤立的原发性脑包虫囊肿，并伴有占位性病变的神经系统症状。放射学显示一个巨大的左侧额顶叶包虫囊肿。手术治疗脑包虫囊肿。病人康复顺利，出院了。随访无复发。
