Cardiac echinococcosis is a very rare disease, especially in girls. We report a case of interventricular septum echinococcosis. A 14-year-old girl was referred for chest pain. Magnetic resonance imaging and two-dimensional echocardiography revealed a cyst in the distal interventricular septum. We concluded that MR imaging is useful in diagnosis and planning of surgery. Cardiac hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with anginalike pain in endemic areas.
心脏包虫病是一种非常罕见的疾病，尤其是在女孩中。我们报告一例室间隔包虫病病例。一名14岁女孩因胸痛前来就诊。磁共振成像和二维超声心动图显示室间隔远端有一个囊肿。我们得出结论，磁共振成像在诊断和手术规划中很有用。在地方病流行地区，对于有类似心绞痛疼痛的患者，鉴别诊断时应考虑心脏包虫囊肿。
