Cardiac involvement in echinococcosis remains a singular finding, possibly associated with confusing symptomatology. We report the original case of a 17 year-old young woman, referred to our cardiology department for repeated exertion syncopes, and ultimately, proven through echocardiography, serologies and magnetic resonance imaging to have a massive hydatid cyst developing inside the left ventricular cavity towards the outflow tract. The cyst has been surgically completely removed with excellent results.
棘球蚴病累及心脏仍是一种罕见的表现，可能与混淆的症状学相关。我们报告了一个原始病例，为 17 岁年轻女性，因反复运动性晕厥而转诊至心内科，最终通过超声心动图、血清学和磁共振成像证实左心室腔内靠近流出道有一个巨大的包虫囊肿。该囊肿已通过手术完全切除，效果极佳。
