Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the chest roentgenogram and CT findings of 63 patients with pulmonary hydatid disease. Methods: Sixty-three (27 female and 36 male, aged between 3 and 76 years) patients with surgically proven pulmonary hydatid cysts were included to the study. Chest roentgenogram and thorax CT were obtained from all the patients. Radiological features (number, localization, diameter, internal architecture) were determined. Results: On CT examination, 107 cysts were determined but on 78 of 107 cysts were detected on chest roentgenogram. Single cysts were seen in 36 patients, while multiple cysts were seen in 27 on CT. Eighteen cysts were larger than 10 cm in diameter. CT scan showed crescent sign (3 patients), water lily sign (9 patients), airfluid level (11 patients), dry cyst sign (8 patients), and homogenous shadow (46 patients). in addition, atelectasis (n 17), pleural effusion (n 29), and pericystic infiltration (n 38) were also seen on CT. On the other hand, 58 cysts were homogenous and 20 cysts were ruptured on chest roentgenogram. Conclusion: Although chest roentgenogram is helpful for diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid disease, CT examination must be done to evaluation nature, number, and localization of cysts.

Özet

Amaç: Altmışüç pulmoner hidatik kist olgusunu akciğer radyografisi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile değerlendirmek. Materyal ve method: Cerrahi olarak ispat edilmiş 63 pulmoner hidatik kistli olgu (27'si kadın, 36'sı erkek) bu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Olgular 3 ile 76 (ort:42.8) yaşları arasında idi. Olguların tümüne akciğer radyografisi ve toraks BT tetkiki yapıldı. Lezyonlar sayı, lokalizasyon, boyut ve iç yapısı yönünden radyolojik olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Bilgisayarlı tomografide toplam 107 kist mevcut iken akciğer grafilerinde ancak 78 kist tesbit edildi. BT'de 36 olguda tek kist, 27 olguda ise multipl kist bulundu. Onsekiz kist 10 cm'den büyük bulundu, iç yapısı yönünden değerlendirildiğinde; 3'ünde meniskus bulgusu, 9'unda nilüfer işareti, 11'inde hava-sıvı seviyesi, 8'inde boş kist kavitesi ve 76'smda homojen dansite içeren lezyonlar görüldü. Ayrıca BT'de 17'sinde atelektazi, 29'unda plevral sıvı, 38'inde perikistik infiltrasyon görüldü. Akciğer radyografisinde ise 58 kist homojen dansitede olup 20 kist rüptüre idi. Sonuç: Akciğer grafileri kist hidatik tanısında yardımcı olmakla beraber lezyon lokalizasyonunu, sayısını ve iç yapısını değerlendirmek için BT gereklidir.
