This paper presents the case of an 18-year-old woman in the 31st week of pregnancy complaining for 8 months a several episodes of vomiting and headache the neurological examination revealed muscle power was 3/5 on left side. The cerebral MRI revealed an intracranial hydatid cyst. The cyst was surgically removed under general anesthesia and put it on albendazole, the diagnosis has been confirmed by the histopathological examination. The patient gave a healthy baby 1 month later without any incident. No primary focus was found in the lungs, liver, or other organs. Primary cerebral hydatid cyst during pregnancy can be successfully treated by surgical and medical intervention, vomiting in a pregnant woman should be investigated to rule out other differential diagnosis.

“…Primary intracranial cysts are very rare (1.7%), and 75% of patients are children. The incidence of this parasite in the course of pregnancy is in the order of 1/20000–30000 [ 1 ]. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst in a pregnant female.…”

Introduction:Renal involvement by hydatid disease is uncommon. The patients may be asymptomatic or present with flank pain, hematuria, and hypertension. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, and options include cyst deroofing, partial nephrectomy, and total nephrectomy. We share our experience of laparoscopic management of 3 patients with large hydatid cysts of the kidney and review the literature.Case Description:Three patients with hydatid cysts of the kidney were treated at our institution between 2008 and 2010. In all 3 patients, hydatid disease involved the left kidney. One of the three cases also had concomitant liver involvement. Abdominal pain was the predominant symptom. A flank mass was palpable in 2 patients. The diagnosis was confirmed on abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography in all 3 patients. Laparoscopic management was successfully completed in 2 patients. A large intrahepatic cyst in 1 patient prompted conversion to an open procedure. A special hydatid trocar-cannula system helps in eliminating the possibility of spillage from the cyst while puncturing and aspirating the cyst.Discussion:There are few reports on laparoscopic management of this uncommon disease of the kidney. In our series the laparoscopic management was attempted in all 3 cases. The procedures included laparoscopic aspiration of the cyst contents along with subtotal excision of the ectocyst in 2 patients and nephrectomy in 1 patient. The latter case had to be converted to an open procedure because of inaccessibility of the intrahepatic liver hydatid cyst. Laparoscopic management of renal hydatid cysts is feasible and safe.

Otros órganos, menos frecuentemente comprometidos, son bazo, riñón, páncreas, mama, peritoneo, hueso y tejidos blandos, tiroides, corazón, médula espinal y encéfalo.…”

In only 2% of all cases of hydatidosis, the cysts are located in the brain. We report a 12-year-old male, a 5-year-old girl and a 19-year-old female consulting for intracranial hypertension and a 13-year-old male consulting for a left hemiparesis. Imaging studies found intra-cerebral cysts with characteristics of hydatidosis in all. All lesions were completely removed surgically and the pathological study of the excised piece confirmed the diagnosis of hydatidosis.
