AI Summary & Key Takeaways
AI InsightPatients with a disseminated pulmonary embolism have a poor prognosis in case of delayed diagnosis, and these patients under anti-parasitic treatment after hydatid cyst resection should be monitored carefully and screened routinely in terms of visceral organ involvement.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
Abstract
Hydatid cysts are mostly located in the visceral organs, and cardiac involvement is very rare. Pulmonary arterial embolisms due to hydatid cyst are extremely rare, and they usually develop secondary to the rupture of a cardiac or hepatic hydatid cyst. Herein, we describe a case of clinically silent, but disseminated pulmonary embolism originating from a right ventricular hydatid cyst. Patients with a disseminated pulmonary embolism have a poor prognosis in case of delayed diagnosis, and these patients under anti-parasitic treatment after hydatid cyst resection should be monitored carefully and screened routinely in terms of visceral organ involvement.
Özet
Kist hidatik sıklıkla iç organ yerleşimli olup, kardiyak tutulum çok nadirdir. Kist hidatiğe bağlı pulmoner arter embolisi son derece nadir olup, genellikle kardiyak veya hepatik kist rüptürüne bağlı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu makalede, sağ ventrikülde kist hidatik kaynaklı klinik olarak sessiz, ancak yaygın bir pulmoner emboli olgusu sunuldu. Tanının gecikmesi durumunda yaygın pulmoner kist hidatik embolisi olan hastaların prognozu kötüdür ve kist hidatik rezeksiyonu sonrası antiparaziter tedavi alan bu hastalar titizlikle izlenmeli ve iç organ tutulumu açısından rutin olarak taranmalıdır.
