Cardiac hydatid cysts (CHC) are rare complications of echinococcosis, often presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a case of recurrent CHC in a 35-year-old male with a history of cerebral and pelvic hydatid cysts. Diagnostic imaging revealed significant cardiac involvement, necessitating surgical intervention. Postoperative management included a combination of albendazole and praziquantel, resulting in marked improvement during follow-up. This case highlights the complexities of treating recurrent CHC and suggests that combination therapy may offer benefits in managing extensive cysts. Further research is needed to refine treatment strategies for such cases.
心脏包虫囊肿(CHC)是棘球蚴病的罕见并发症,常常带来诊断和治疗方面的挑战。我们报告一例35岁男性复发性CHC病例,该患者有脑和盆腔包虫囊肿病史。诊断性影像学检查显示心脏受累严重,需要进行手术干预。术后管理包括阿苯达唑和吡喹酮联合使用,随访期间病情显著改善。该病例凸显了复发性CHC治疗的复杂性,并表明联合治疗可能对处理广泛囊肿有益。需要进一步研究以完善此类病例的治疗策略。
