  • Title: A 13-year-old girl with a cystic cerebellar lesion: consider the hydatid cyst.
    Author: Is M, Gezen F, Akyuz F, Aytekin H, Dosoglu M.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2009 May; 16(5):712-3. PubMed ID: 19264485.
    Abstract:
    We report a 13-year-old girl with a hydatid cyst located in the posterior fossa. The pre-operative diagnosis was a cerebellar tumour; the cyst was operated on using puncture, aspiration, irrigation and resection. Sixteen months post-operatively, the patient is in a good health. A hydatid cyst must always be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the cranium, especially for those children living in rural areas.
