Abstract

Hydatid disease is caused by the larval stages of Echinococcus Granulosus. Most patients with hydatid disease have no symptoms, unless there is compression of vital organs such as the hepatic veins, portal vein, hepatic artery in the liver, bronchia in the lungs or the brain, resulting in life threatening complications like anaphylactic shock and sudden death. There are four treatment strategies for cystic echinococcosis (CE)-surgery, percutaneous methods, medical treatments and watch and wait strategies.
