  • Title: Traumatic rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst.
    Author: Navsaria PH, Forlee MV, Nicol AJ.
    Journal: S Afr J Surg; 2002 Aug; 40(3):103-5. PubMed ID: 12387221.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of liver hydatid cysts usually occurs spontaneously. However, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen following trauma in endemic areas. Simple cystectomy and lavage with scolicidal solution is the procedure of choice. Coupled with pharmacological therapy and long-term follow-up, a low recurrence rate can be achieved.
