Hydatid cyst disease in childhood is still a serious health problem in the rural areas of Turkey and other places where the parasite is endemic. The brain involvement rate varies from 1-2% in hydatid disease. Especially in children, hydatid cysts can grow to enormous sizes, and the cases can remain neurologically intact. In this report, a 7-year-old boy, a 15-year-old girl, and a 10-year-old girl, in whom large primary brain hydatid cysts were diagnosed radiologically and treated surgically, are presented. Severe headache in childhood should be taken into consideration carefully in countries where hydatid disease is seen.
在土耳其农村地区以及其他该寄生虫为地方病的地区，儿童包虫囊肿病仍是一个严重的健康问题。在包虫病中，脑部受累率为1%-2%。尤其是儿童，包虫囊肿可长得非常大，且这些病例在神经方面可保持完好。在本报告中，介绍了一名7岁男孩、一名15岁女孩和一名10岁女孩，他们经影像学诊断为原发性大脑巨大包虫囊肿并接受了手术治疗。在出现包虫病的国家，应仔细考虑儿童期的严重头痛。
