    Abstract:
    Hydatid cysts in the heart are rare, with an unpredictable outcome and numerous complications, requiring rapid surgical management. We report the case of a 19 year old female patient, who underwent surgery with extra corporeal circulation for a hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum of the heart, complicated by secondary pulmonary echinococcus infection, confirmed on CT and MRI. Resection of the cyst was performed via a right auriculotomy. The post operative period was favourable; the other pulmonary sites were treated medically. We emphasise the methods of diagnosis and management.
