| Popis: | The principal features of computed tomography in hydatid disease of the lungs were reviewed in ten patients with surgically verified hydatid disease of the lungs. On the basis of localization and multiplicity, hydatid cysts of the lungs can be classified in three distinct categories: single unilateral unilocular cysts with or without daughter cysts, unilateral multiple cysts with or without daughter cysts, and bilateral multiple cysts. Cystobronchial communication may lead to cavitary lesions, while infection of the cyst may alter the attenuation values and produce a solid appearance. On the basis of density and clinical symptoms, hydatid cysts of the lungs can be classified as simple cysts, complicated cysts, and ruptured cysts, including cystobronchial communication. |
