Abstract

Hydatid disease is caused by the larval stage of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. It is mainly endemic in North African and Mediterranean countries. The disease usually manifests in liver and lungs although involvement of other organs are also seen. In this case intracranial hydatid disease in a 9-year-old female patient is presented with MRI findings.

Özet

Hidatik hastalık Echinococcos granulosus parazitinin larval dönemi sebebiyle ortaya çıkmaktadır. Başlıca Kuzey Afrika ve Akdeniz ülkelerinde endemik olarak görülmektedir. Hastalık genellikle karaciğer ve akciğerlerde görülmekte olup diğer organ tutulumları da görülebilir. Bu nadir vaka ile 9 yaşında bir kız çocuğunda saptanan intrakaranial kist hidatik olgusu Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme bulguları ile sunulmaktadır.
