Hydatid Cysts of the Brain
Overview
Affiliations
Intracranial hydatid cysts, although still rare, are being seen with increasing frequency. We report 12 cases of intracerebral hydatid cysts diagnosed with the use of computed tomography. We also review the methods recently available for diagnosis and therapy of this disease. Excellent therapeutic results can be achieved through surgical removal of the hydatid cyst; however, it is important to avoid rupturing the cyst.
