  • Title: Growth rate of secondary hydatid cysts of the brain. Case report.
    Author: Sierra J, Oviedo J, Berthier M, Leiguarda R.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1985 May; 62(5):781-2. PubMed ID: 3989600.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral intracerebral hydatid cysts developed in a 14-year-old patient after an infarct of presumed embolic origin in the left frontotemporoparietal region. The average rate of growth of these cysts was about 5 cm per year. This suggests that the growth rate is far from uniform and indeed, particularly in young patients, may be much faster than originally estimated.
