Hydatid disease is endemic in some regions of the world. Even in endemic regions, splenic hydatid cysts are rare, especially in pregnancy. The most serious presentation is intra peritoneal rupture, which is a surgical emergency. Exploration with splenectomy is the favoured management. We present a case of splenic hydatid cyst, detected late in pregnancy, with intraperitoneal rupture in the postpartum period. Cystic lesions located anywhere in the body in endemic regions could be hydatid cysts. Prompt treatment should be planned immediately on detection in order to prevent potentially serious complications like rupture.
包虫病在世界上的一些地区呈地方性流行。即使在地方性流行地区，脾包虫囊肿也很罕见，尤其是在妊娠期。最严重的表现是腹腔内破裂，这是一种外科急症。行脾切除术的探查是首选的治疗方法。我们报告一例在妊娠晚期发现的脾包虫囊肿，在产后发生腹腔内破裂的病例。在地方性流行地区，身体任何部位的囊性病变都可能是包虫囊肿。一旦发现应立即制定及时的治疗方案，以预防诸如破裂等潜在的严重并发症。
