Hidatidosis: Clasificación clínica-imagenológica según Gharbi y la Organización Mundial de la Salud

Abstract

Its clinical manifestations depend on the organ it affects and the parasite growth rate. The most frequent location is on liver’s tissue, manifesting itself as an incidental finding when it is asymptomatic or with symptoms, as biliary colic. The Pan American Health Organization and World Health Organization (WHO) support Gharbi and WHO’s classification, allowing to estimate the stage of the hydatid cyst. We will assess the imaging findings in ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging since they are an important diagnostic pilar to determine their location and characterization.
