“…Hydatid cysts of the posterior fossa are uncommon and may cause sudden deterioration of the consciousness level [6,25,26,27,28]. Our pediatric posterior fossa case also developed this phenomenon during his physical examination.…”

“…Although cerebral hemispheric and spinal hydatid cysts are reported as unusual or uncommon cases, the deeply located ones that are seen especially in the thalamic region [13], posterior fossa [6,25,26,27,28] and ventricles [14,23,29] are reported as even rarer and need greater caution. They are not just more difficult to reach, but might also cause greater morbidity due to parenchymal incision.…”

Objective/Aims: To emphasize the importance of diagnosis and treatment of unusually localized hydatid cysts in pediatric cases. Methods: Hydatid cyst patients of two departments were listed who had undergone surgery between January 2001 and December 2008. Of the 7 pediatric patients, 3 were chosen as the ones with unusual localization. Cyst removal with Dowling’s technique was performed in 2 cases and total removal of the cyst wall was achieved after cyst aspiration in the other patient. Results: Two patients did not show any signs of recurrence. Some of the cranial multiple cysts of the patient who had undergone her first surgery in another clinic with cyst rupture were successfully removed in our clinic. Six months later, she was admitted with spinal seedings. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst removal without rupture should be the surgical goal in all cases. Radiological evaluation is of utmost importance for differential diagnosis. When a cystic lesion is found in the central nervous system on radiological evaluation, hydatid disease must be considered in countries where the disease is endemic and surgery is to be planned emergently especially for pediatric cases with increased intracranial pressure. The study focuses on the strategy for the correct diagnosis and the appropriate treatment of unusually localized hydatid cysts.

“…Le KH encéphalique siège préférentiellement à l'étage sus tentoriel, surtout au niveau du territoire de l'artère sylvienne. La localisation au niveau de la fosse cérébrale postérieure est exceptionnelle [3], le siège est variable: vermien [2], hémisphérique [4], pontique, intraventriculaire, et même extradural [5]. Morphologiquement, le KH encéphalique est sphérique et le plus souvent constitué d'une seule vésicule entourée d'un adventice mince, ce qui permet une excellente énucléation lors de l'intervention.…”

L'hydatidose est une parasitose cosmopolite endémique au Maroc. L'échinococcose cérébrale est rare représentant 1 à 2% de l'ensemble des hydatidoses de l'homme et la localisation auniveau de la fosse postérieure est exceptionnelle. Nous rapportons le cas d'un enfant âgé de 12 ansadmis pour syndrome d'hypertension intracrânienne évoluant depuis trois mois. La tomodensitométrie cérébrale a objectivé une formation kystique de la fosse postérieurene se rehaussant pas après injection du produit de contraste. L'intervention chirurgicale révélait un kyste hydatique. Ce diagnostic aété par la suite confirméparl'examen anatomo-pathologique. Le patient a reçuuntraitement médical à base d'albendazole en postopératoire. L'évolutionétait favorable six mois plus tard.

“…The cerebral hydatid cyst (CHC) is preferentially located on the supratentorial region, especially in the middle cerebral artery territory [11]. The location in the posterior fossa is unusual [4,12,13]. It could be located in the cerebellar vermis or hemisphere, pons, fourth ventricle, or even extradural [12][13][14].…”

The authors report a case of hydatid cyst of the posterior fossa in a 22-year-old patient. He lived in a poorly sanitary environment and remains in close contact with the dogs. This young patient clinically presented with a raise intracranial pressure and cerebellar syndrome. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was made on brain CT scan, which revealed a large, septated cystic lesion with parietal lamellar calcifications without contrast enhancement.
