    Author: Sinha PR, Jaipuria N, Avasthey P.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 1995 Oct; 51(3):293-5. PubMed ID: 8586478.
    Abstract:
    Left ventricular hydatid cyst was diagnosed in a 4-year-old boy by echocardiography. The patient did not respond to oral mebendazole therapy and had a sudden death, probably due to rupture of the cyst. The occurrence of cardiac hydatid cyst and its life threatening complications are rare and have not been reported in children.
