Isolated involvement of brain with hydatid disease is a rare manifestation and occurs in only 1-2% of all Echinococcus granulosus infections. Here we present a young female of 16 years with primary intra cranial hydatid cyst without any extracranial involvement in the liver or lung. The patient was managed surgically and anti-helemthic medications were given, and the patient was discharged. The objective is to report a rare case of primary solitary hydatid cyst of brain. The incidence of isolated hydatidosis of brain is rare and should be considered as a differential diagnosis in endemic areas. Isolated Hydatidosis of brain is managed surgically and has to be removed carefully without spillage with postoperative medication to reduce the risk of recurrence.
脑包虫病是一种罕见的疾病，仅占所有细粒棘球蚴感染的 1-2%。本文报告了一例 16 岁年轻女性，无肝、肺外任何部位受累，单纯颅内包虫囊肿。该患者接受了手术治疗和抗包虫药物治疗，并已出院。本研究旨在报告一例罕见的原发性孤立性脑包虫囊肿病例。脑包虫病的发病率很低，在流行地区应作为鉴别诊断的考虑因素。脑包虫病的治疗方法是手术，必须在没有溢出的情况下小心切除，并在术后给予药物治疗以降低复发风险。
