“…The latter case was punctured as a result of acute herniation syndrome with a Glasgow Coma Score of 3; and after relieving the mass effect, the cavity was irrigated with hypertonic saline solution from the punctured site. 4,5,7,13,14 Peter et al 9 reported a similar child with the same initial misdiagnosis and surgical intervention as the reported case. 4 Another pediatric case of ours in pre-magnetic resonance (MR) era, with irregular contoured retroclival cystic lesion on CT and without a preoperative diagnosis, was punctured via posterior fossa approach revealing a diagnosis of fertile hydatid cyst with extradural localization.…”

To the Editors:We managed recently a boy with acute parvovirus infection. A 14-yearold boy with hereditary spherocytosis was brought to the hospital in shock. He had a 1-week history of fever, watery diarrhea and vomiting. On arrival, he was jaundiced and lethargic. Temperature was 38.1°C, heart rate 160/min, respiratory rate 28/min, blood pressure 90/40 mm Hg and O 2 saturation 94%. Splenomegaly unchanged from previous was present. Rash was absent, and he was mildly dehydrated.Investigations revealed hemoglobin of 101 g/L, white blood cell count 12.2 ϫ 0 -2.4 mmol/L). There was evidence of coagulopathy ͓International Normalized Ratio 3.02 seconds (normal, 0.9-1.1 seconds); partial thromboplastin time, 104 seconds (normal, 25-35 seconds)͔; renal dysfunction ͓blood urea nitrogen, 28.9 mmol/L (normal, 2.9-7.1 mmol/L); creatinine, 250 mol/L (upper normal, 106 mol/L)͔; and hepatic dysfunction ͓aspartate aminotransferase, 389 units/L (normal, 0-36 units/L); alanine aminotransferase, 78 units/L (normal, 0-40 units/L); unconjugated bilirubin, 27 mol/L (normal, 0-17 mol/L); conjugated bilirubin, 58 mol/L (normal, 0-2 mol/L)͔.He required fluid resuscitation, intubation and inotropic support. His hypotension, coagulopathy and renal dysfunction improved during the next 48 hours, and he was extubated on the third hospital day. During the next 4 days, anemia (66 g/L) with reticulocytopenia (Ͻ1%) and thrombocytopenia (9 ϫ 10 9 /L) unresponsive to platelet transfusion developed. Petechiae, bleeding from venipuncture sites and sub-

Kist Hidatik paraziter bir hastalıktır. Ana konak genellikle köpeklerin bağırsağı olup parazit larvaları su ve kontamine yiyeceklerle bulaşır. İntrakranial yerleşimli kist hidatik nadirdir. İntrakranial kist hidatik olgularının yaklaşık %75'i çocuklarda izlenir. Bu yazımızda primer intrakranial tutulumu olan operasyondan 5 ay sonra alt ekstremite tutulumu izlenen pediatrik kist hidatik olgusu klinik, radyolojik ve histopatolojik verilerle sunulmuştur.

Intracranial hydatid cyst is a rare cause of midbrain herniation: A case report and literature review

et al. 2013

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection affecting the brain in about 2% of the cases. Brain involvement is most commonly observed in children. Here, we report a 13-year-old male patient who presented with headache, nausea, and vomiting. Before cranial computed tomography (CT) was performed, the patient had generalized epileptic seizures. He was disoriented, and had anisocoria with dilatation of the right pupilla. CT showed a cystic lesion of 10-cm diameter in the right temporoparietal region that had caused a shift of the midline structures to the contralateral side; an urgent operation was performed as there were signs of midbrain herniation.
