Popis: Cardiac involvement is rare in hydatid disease, but it carries a significant risk of potentially lethal complications. Cardiac hydatid cysts are mostly intramyocardial. Pericardial hydatid cysts without myocardial involvement are much less frequent. Cardiac imaging techniques, particularly two-dimensional echocardiography, are more useful in the detection of cardiac cysts. We present an incidentally detected, asymptomatic, pericardial hydatid cyst.http://link.springer-ny.com/link/service/journals/00547/bibs/8n3p161.html
