“…Later, dense complete calcification may occur and such a cyst is assumed to be inactive. [ 5 ] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best modality to demonstrate the cystic component and biliary tree involvement. The cystic part is hypointense on T1-weighted images and markedly hyperintense on T2-weighted images.…”

Hydatid disease continues to be a significant health problem in many parts of the world. It can occur in any part of the body, but liver is the commonest site of involvement. The disease may remain asymptomatic for years. Symptoms occur due to compression of local structures or complications like rupture and infection. The diagnosis is clear when typical radiological appearance is observed at the common sites of involvement. Complications give rise to atypical appearances. These coupled with unusual localizations pose diagnostic difficulty. The aim of this pictorial essay is to demonstrate the atypical manifestations of hydatid cysts – atypical either due to complications or the unusual site.

“…This case is similar to several other case reports in which color Doppler was used to differentiate hydronephrosis from an RAVM. 3,[6][7][8][9] The etiology of this particular RAVM is thought to have been traumatically induced when the patient suffered a motor vehicle collision as a child. Less than 1% of RAVMs are congenital.…”

Sonography has been proven to be a safe and cost-effective imaging modality for a variety of medical conditions. The increased portability of ultrasound equipment has led to the introduction of nonsonographers performing limited studies in a variety of clinical scenarios. Point-of-care sonography (POCS) has many advantages, including, but not limited to, more efficient diagnoses, focused treatment options, and, in some cases, eliminating additional, more expensive imaging studies. POCS should be used by individuals formally trained to understand the instrumentation of the equipment. The specific equipment settings should include power output, concept of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), equipment limitations, image optimization, recognition of 2D landmarks within the human body, and analysis of color Doppler signals. The physician conducting POCS in this case has been through the ultrasound accreditation process associated with the American Urological Association and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine. 1 This case study illustrates how POCS was employed by a physician in conjunction with a thorough patient history and physical examination to detect an atypical urology problem.

“… Inactive stage: the cysts are echogenic and may be partially or completely collapsed on themselves. On CT their appearance varies: they may show a “spoke wheel” pattern or a water lily sign (where membranes appear within the matrix as serpentine linear structures, a finding that is highly specific for hydatid disease) ( 11 ). In the peritoneum, they appear as multiple cystic lesions, or with calcification when they are in the inactive or healed stage.…”
