Abstract
Hydatid cyst accounts for 3% to 4% of all intracranial lesions. The initial diagnosis is typically based on clinical suspicion, usually with a patient history of having traveled to a region where it is endemic or living in contact with cattle or dogs, and the diagnosis is confirmed with serological tests and imaging. Emergent surgery for cerebral hydatid cyst without first obtaining magnetic resonance image has also been reported in the literature. Presently described is a case of a 22-year-old patient who presented with symptoms of intracranial pressure and neurological deterioration diagnosed as primary cerebral hydatid cyst, and a review of the literature
