Abstrakt: An unusual case of giant hydatic cyst of the left ventricle producing cardiac and systemic symptomatology is described. The patient had suffered presyncopal and syncopal attacks and the final diagnosis was made by combination of echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and serological tests. Surgical resection of the cyst supplemented by medical therapy yielded favorable results.
