Pericardial hydatid cyst presenting with cardiac tamponade

Cases of cardiac hydatid cyst disease are uncommon, occurring in approximately 0.5% to 2% of patients with hydatid disease. Most cardiac hydatid cysts are located in the left ventricle and interventricular septum. Cardiac involvement may have serious consequences. Both the disease and its surgical t...

Description
Summary:Cases of cardiac hydatid cyst disease are uncommon, occurring in approximately 0.5% to 2% of patients with hydatid disease. Most cardiac hydatid cysts are located in the left ventricle and interventricular septum. Cardiac involvement may have serious consequences. Both the disease and its surgical treatment carry a high complication rate, including rupture leading to cardiac tamponade, anaphylaxis and also death. In the present report, a 10-year-old girl with cardiac tamponade secondary to a pericardial hydatid cyst is described. Les cas de kystes hydatiques cardiaques sont rares; ils ne s’observent en effet chez guère plus de 0,5 % à 2 % des patients atteints d’hydatidose. La plupart des kystes hydatiques cardiaques sont situés sur le ventricule gauche et le septum interventriculaire. L’atteinte cardiaque peut avoir de graves conséquences. La maladie et son traitement chirurgical comportent un fort taux de complications, y compris la rupture, entraînant la tamponnade cardiaque, l’anaphylaxie et la mort. On décrit ici le cas d’une fillette de 10 ans victime d’une tamponnade secondaire à un kyste hydatique.
