| Popis: | Hydatidosis, an anthropozoonosis caused by the development of the Echinococcus granulosus larva in human, is a parasitic infection that is endemic in many countries. Pericardial localization in the absence of other cardiac involvement is extremely rare. Its spontaneous evolution is serious because of the risk of rupture. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient, who received limb edema that had been going on for 4 months, and in whom the physical examination noted a 3/6 tricuspid regurgitation and a right heart failure syndrome. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an intra-pericardial mass whose contents appeared fluid with hyperechogenic area. It measured 86x61 mm and significantly compressed the straight cavities. Thoracic computed tomography showed an appearance in favor of an aged intrapericardic hydatid cyst (GHARBI V) with mass effect on the right cavities. The hydatid serology was negative. The patient did not accept the surgical cure. She had been put on albendazole and diuretic treatment. Fatal outcome was reported after two-month follow-up. |
