Kyste hydatique du foie: à propos d’un mode de révélation exceptionnel

Abstract

Le kyste hydatique (KH) est une maladie parasitaire bénigne qui touche avec prédilection le foie. Il est assez fréquent dans les pays du pourtour méditerranéen, cependant il reste une cause exceptionnelle d'hypertension portale. Nous rapportons une nouvelle observation d′un patient qui présente un kyste hydatique du foie révélé par une hémorragie digestive sur un syndrome d′hypertension portale en précisant ses différentes particularités diagnostiques et thérapeutiques avec une revue de littérature.

In sub-Saharan Africa, little is written about this pathology, which remains common and constitutes a public health problem in highly endemic countries such as those around the Me-L. B. K. Ismaèl diterranean basin and North Africa [1] [2] [3]. We will bring you a case.…”
