Abstract :

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by larval stage of Tapeworm of genus Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus Multilocularis. It is endemic in many parts of world including central Asia and India. Due to increased chances of travel, immigration, contact with pets and wildlife, it is commonly encountered zoonotic disease. Liver hydatidosis is one of the common causes of liver mass. Neurohydatidosis may lead to fatal complications if not intervened timely. It is important to make proper preoperative diagnosis based on imaging techniques and immunology, so that surgeon may take a particular precaution not to rupture the lesion as peritoneal spillage may lead to dissemination implantation. Aggressive surgical intervention concomitant with oral mebendazole or albendazole before and after the surgery is the preferred in the treatment of this disease.
