    Abstract:
    The authors report a rare case of multiple mediastinal hydatid cysts which ruptured in a 48 year old man who presented with a pericardial effusion. The diagnosis was confirmed by 2D echocardiography, completed by CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was operated as a semi-emergency and the outcome was good. This case underlines the rare pericardial involvement and the severity of the complications of cardiac hydatid disease.
