| description | Teaching point: When hydatid disease in the brain is suspected, thoraco-abdominal imaging is warranted to detect extracranial lesions. When an uncomplicated intra-axial cyst is encountered, hydatid disease should be in differential diagnosis, especially in patients from or with travel history to endemic areas, or with known exposure to dogs, sheep or cattle. Thoraco-abdominal imaging may aid diagnosis as hydatid disease more commonly affects the liver and lungs and only rarely the brain. |
