Lung hydatid cyst is a frequently encountered site of echinococcus infection after the liver. Rupture of endobronchial hydatid cyst may lead to hydatemesis or may spread to the normal lung or can cause anaphylactic reactions. Performing bronchoscopy in cases with bronchial hydatid is controversial. The thoracic hydatid cyst may destroy the native lung parenchyma or may cause mass effect on the surrounding structures. Ball valve obstruction of the bronchial hydatid cyst is not documented in the literature and here the authors present such a case as the recognition of the ball valve mechanism is important as it may cause tension pneumothorax.

肺包虫囊肿是继肝脏之后棘球蚴感染常见的部位。支气管内包虫囊肿破裂可能导致咳出大量囊液,也可能扩散至正常肺组织或引发过敏反应。对于支气管包虫病患者进行支气管镜检查存在争议。胸腔包虫囊肿可能破坏肺实质,或对周围结构产生占位效应。支气管包虫囊肿的球阀样阻塞在文献中未见记载,本文作者报告了这样一例病例,因为认识到球阀机制很重要,因为它可能导致张力性气胸。
