Recurrent cardiac hydatidosis in a child presenting as acute stroke
Tóm tắt
Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare but potentially life threatening condition, with surgery being the definitive treatment. We present the case of a 4 year boy who was diagnosed with concurrent pulmonary and left intraventricular hydatid cysts. He was operated for the same and advised prophylactic albendazole. After a symptom free interval of 8 months the child developed acute onset right sided hemiplegia, which was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain as acute left basal ganglia nonhaemorrhagic infarct. Also a recurrent pericardial hydatid cyst was visualized, which was assumed to be the embolic source for the stroke. We report this exceptional case of recurrent cardiac hydatidosis presenting as acute stroke.
