Abstract
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection that usually involves liver and lungs. Hydatid cysts of the head and neck are rare, even in countries where echinococcal infestation is endemic. This report presents one patient with hydatid cyst, diagnosed using computed tomography, in whom the cysts were located between cervical paravertebral muscles. The purulent cyst content was aspirated and the thick cyst wall was totally excised. We did not experience any recurrences in our case which we had performed cyst aspiration with removal of the cyst capsule.
Özet
Kist hidatik hastalığı genellikle karaciğer ve akciğeri tutan parazitik bir enfeksiyondur. Ekinokokus infestasyonunun endemik olduğu yerlerde dahi baş-boyun bölgesinde bu hastalığın görülmesi oldukça nadirdir. Burada tanısı bilgisayarlı tomografi ile konulmuş olan ve servikal paravertebral kasa yerleşmiş bir kist hidatik olgusu sunulmuştur. Pürülan kist içeriği aspire edildikten sonra kalın kist duvarı total olarak eksize edilen olgumuzun takibinde herhangi bir rekürrens gözlenmemiştir.
