  • Title: Hydatid disease involving the left ventricle: a case of unusual combination.
    Author: Nurkalem Z, Atmaca H, Kayacioglu I, Uslu N, Gorgulu S, Eren M.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2006 Sep 20; 112(2):e30-2. PubMed ID: 16859775.
    Abstract:
    Hydatid cyst can be found in many organ systems, but is rarely in the heart. Echocardiography is an important tool in diagnosing cardiac involvement of a hydatid cyst. A history of extracardiac hydatid cyst should raise suspicion whether there is cardiac involvement. We report a case of spinal hydatid cyst with left ventricular hydatid cyst, yet without any hepatic or pulmonary involvement.
