  • Title: A pericardial hydatid cyst masquerading as acute inferolateral myocardial infarction--a case report.
    Author: Ileri M, Hisar I, Atak R, Senen K, Aras D, Buyukasik N.
    Journal: Angiology; 2005; 56(5):637-40. PubMed ID: 16193206.
    Abstract:
    A case of pericardial hydatid cyst adjacent to the inferoposterial wall of the left ventricle is reported. Significant ST segment elevations in leads D2, D3, aVF, V5, and V6 on surface electrocardiography and sudden onset of severe chest pain mimicked acute inferolateral myocardial infarction. However, cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries and normal left ventricular cavity. The ST segment elevation in the inferolateral leads disappeared a few days after surgical resection of the cyst. Cardiac hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with angina-like chest pain in endemic areas.
