  • Title: [Role of ultrasonics in the diagnosis of 5 hydatid cysts of the heart].
    Author: Hernigou A, Plainfossé MC, Merran S, Guermonprez JL.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1984 Apr 05; 60(15):1061-7. PubMed ID: 6326294.
    Abstract:
    Clinical and ultrasonographic findings in five patients with cardiac echinococcosis are presented. In each case chest film showed abnormal shape or enlargement of the heart shadow, with calcifications in three patients. In four cases, echocardiography was suggestive of a cystic lesion. Echocardiography associated with plain chest film seems to be a reliable technique for positive diagnosis and follow up after treatment. However, it is insufficient for preoperative work up in which selective coronary arteriography remains the cardinal procedure.
