Although Hydatid disease eradicated in many countries, it is still widespread in communities where agriculture is dominant. Cystic hydatidosis is significant public health problem in the regions with endemic echinococcosis. The hydatid cysts tend to form mostly in the liver or lung. Brain involvement is very rare. In the present report, we describe magnetic resonance imaging findings in an 18-yr-old male with cerebral echinococcosis, in Shahid Madani Hospital, Karaj, Iran in 2015. The patient, presented with headache, hemiparesis, impairment of speech, vomiting, and nausea. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical exploration proved a cyst in the superior portion of left temporal lobe. Pathological examination showed it to be a solitary primary cerebral hydatid cyst.
尽管许多国家已根除包虫病，但在农业占主导地位的社区中仍广泛存在。在棘球蚴病流行地区，囊型包虫病是一个重大的公共卫生问题。包虫囊肿往往主要形成于肝脏或肺部。脑部受累非常罕见。在本报告中，我们描述了2015年在伊朗卡拉季的沙希德·马达尼医院对一名18岁患脑包虫病男性患者进行的磁共振成像检查结果。该患者出现头痛、偏瘫、言语障碍、呕吐和恶心症状。计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和手术探查证实左颞叶上部有一个囊肿。病理检查显示为孤立性原发性脑包虫囊肿。
