摘要
Brain involvement with hydatid disease occurs in 1-2% of all Echinococcus granulosus infections. Cerebral hydatid cysts are usually supratentorial, whereas infratentorial lesions are quite rare. Here we report a 19-year-old man with hydatid cysts in the right cerebellopontine cistern with the involvement of internal acoustic canal and jugular foramen. The patient presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure and multiple cranial nerve palsies. Surgery was performed in the semi-sitting position using a lateral suboccipital approach for a right-sided craniotomy. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly demonstrated cisternal, neural and vascular relationships which aided in intact surgical removal of the lesion using microsurgical techniques. Total removal without rupture should be the surgical goal in all hydatid cysts. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
