“…The localization of the cyst at the left heart is 3 times more common than at the straight heart: 64 to 89% for the left cavities again stonly 15 to 31% for the straight cavities because of the rich vascularisation of the wall of the left cavities [1]. The [3]. The thoracic radiography face and profile can detect a cardiomegaly with a round or oval image, with an hydric tone, homogeneous, deforming the outlines of the heart and the calcifications can be present bounding the outlines of this mass which can take the aspect of calcified inhomogenous plates or giving to the mass the aspect of an eggshell.…”

“…On the other hand, the MRI can bring interesting information in case of uncertainty of diagnosis, or in case of conflict between the echocardiography and the tomodensitometry. She shows the cyst in hyposignal T1 and in hypersignal T2 [3,4]. The serological diagnosis of the hydatidosis is realized by various techniques: ELISA, hémagglutination, IEF [5], Immunoblot (presence of bands).…”

“…The interest of the serology is to give the notion of viable cyst or inactive cyst: in practice, a cystis called inactive when it is mummified, calcified, <5 cm, by fortuitous discovery, with negative serology. The serological reactions permit to control the therapeutic efficiency: disappearance after treatment in 12 in 18 months; if ré-ascent, you must fear of a second recurrence or a reinfection [3].…”

Introduction:The hydatid cyst of the heart is rare. It is a characterized by a large clinical and paraclinical polymorphism. Our objective is to illustrate through this observation the interest of screening for the cardiac localization of this affection in all patients suspected or suffering from hydatidosis.Observation: We report the clinical case of a 47-year-old patient operated 11 years ago for two rights and left pulmonary Hydatid cysts presenting for chronic left upper abdominal and lower thoracic pain accentuated 24h before his admission and in whom the clinical examination is without particularity. CT-scan shows mass 4.9x5.2x6.2cm in inter-cardio-diaphragmatic with a thick, irregular wall reaching the left lung and contacting the lower surface of the LV and the diaphragm with loss of the interface separation with presence of calcifications. Echocardiography confirmed the presence of a heterogeneous solido-cystic mass adherent to the inferior surface of the left ventricular with presence of calcifications. The evolution was marked by the emptying of the pre-existing left cardio-phrenic cystic formation with disappearance of the cystic component and persistence of calcification peripheral to the control scan performed 2 months later making the MRI analysis difficult. The hydatid serology is Negative outcome and the diagnosis of reshaped cardiac hydatid cyst was retained given the patient's history, the evolution of the lesions and the therapeutic abstention under strict supervision was indicated. Conclusion:This observation illustrates the interest of the systematic screening of the heart localization in any patient with or suspected of hydatidosis.

“…Involvement of the heart can occur from systemic or pulmonary circulation or as a direct extension from adjacent structures. Isolated cardiac involvement is rare and occurs in only 0.5-2% [4,5]. It can be located at any part of the heart and the manifestations depend on the size, location, the vicinity of the valve orifice areas and the conduction tissue [1].…”

A 24-year-old male was admitted for syncope and epigastric pain and fever. Biological examination showed leukocytosis and marked eosinophilia, the brain computed tomography (CT) was normal. The echocardiography revealed a voluminous mass in the free wall of the right ventricle compressing the right cavities without communication confirmed with thoracic CT. Hydatid serology was positive. Early and urgent surgery was decided. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged home on albendazole. Hydatid cyst is an endemic parasitic infection in cattle-breading countries, and migration has played a significant role to expand this infection worldwide. Cardiac hydatidosis is rare (0.5-2%) in comparison with hydatidosis of the liver (65%) and lung (25%). The right ventricle location is even rarer, 10% versus 60% for the left ventricle, and can cause fatal complications such as anaphylactic shock, dissemination, and pulmonary embolism.
