Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a parasitic infestation produced by Echinococcus multilocularis. The parasite is a rare human infestation with a wide geographic distribution. It primarily affects the liver, and may spread hematogenously to produce metastatic foci in the distant organs. AE can metastise to the lungs, brain and bones. Cerebral involvement is rare but may be lethal. Cerebral AE is a rare but life-threatening parasitic disease. Here we report a 52-year-old man with cerebellar involvement of Echinococcus multilocularis.
肺泡型棘球蚴病（AE）是由多房棘球绦虫引起的一种寄生虫感染。这种寄生虫感染人类的情况较为罕见，但地理分布广泛。它主要侵犯肝脏，也可能通过血行播散在远处器官形成转移灶。AE可转移至肺、脑和骨骼。脑部受累情况罕见，但可能致命。脑型AE是一种罕见但危及生命的寄生虫病。在此，我们报告一名52岁男性，其小脑受到多房棘球绦虫感染。
