“…More recently, Erdem et al 18 suggested that in pediatric patients with abdominal hydatid cysts who had diagnostic difficulties and who are under surgical planning, CT should be performed in addition to an US study. It is widely accepted that CT is best in demonstrating cyst wall calcification.…”

Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a parasitic disease that is endemic in many parts of the world. Hydatid cyst demonstrates a variety of imaging features, varying according to growth stage, associated complications, and affected tissue. The radiologic findings range from purely cystic lesions to a completely solid appearance. Ultrasound is the most important imaging modality for liver hydatid disease and clearly demonstrates the floating membranes, daughter cysts, and hydatid sand characteristically seen in purely cystic lesions. The radiologist's familiarity with the imaging findings of the disease is very important for earlier diagnosis and an appropriate treatment. There are several classification schemes for liver hydatid cysts based on their ultrasound appearances; the initial classification by Gharbi et al and the World Health Organization classification are the most commonly preferred. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging play a key role in recognizing the complications such as rupture and infection of cysts associated with hydatid disease. Today, percutaneous treatment of liver hydatid cysts, a safe, easily applicable, and well-tolerated method, has become the most effective and reliable treatment procedure in most cases if the hydatid cyst is viable. In patients treated with the percutaneous treatment technique, a decrease in the dimensions of the cyst, solidification of the cyst contents, and irregularity in the walls of cysts are signs suggestive of cure. The radiologist should also be familiar with the postoperative follow-up ultrasound findings of hydatid cyst to prevent misinterpretation of the hypoechoic, anechoic, or hyperechoic appearance of posttreatment hydatid disease appearance as recurrence.

“…Fever with chills and severe anaphylactic shock are usually absent unless cysts become secondarily infected or rupture. 4 We do not consider that the fever in our case resulted from infected or ruptured hydatid cyst because sonography, CT, and pathologic study did not show dilatation of biliary trees, air bubbles, increased blood flow, or ring enhancement. Eosinophilia (> 3%) may or may not be present, and has been cited as a diagnostic criterion.…”

“…3 The liver is the most frequently involved organ in both forms, followed in frequency by the lung. 4 However, these two species of Echinococcus are quite different, with different endemic regions and clinical manifestations. E. granulosus tends to produce a typical large, single, round or ovoid, welldefined Hydatid cyst and is the more prevalent species.…”

“…3 There is a wide range of surgical techniques for the treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts, from radical surgery (pericystectomy or regulated hepatic resections) to more conservative techniques (subtotal cystectomy with or without epiploplasty; subtotal cystectomy plus capitonnage, cystostomy plus epiploplasty/omentoplasty, among others). 4 Some reports show that omentoplasty or epiploplasty decreases the incidence of abdominal abscess after surgical treatment. The surgical technique preferred by our surgical team is subtotal cystectomy, with omentoplasty.…”

Study present 02 cases of large hepatic hydatid cysts which were very challenging in their management due to their site, the approach taken during surgery and the close proximity to very vital structures. Hydatid cyst as a disease has remained a considerable potential of upsurge and re-emergence in humans. These patients presented with right upper abdominal pain for a prolonged duration. They were diagnosed as hepatic hydatid cysts after investigations. They underwent subtotal cystectomy with omentoplasty with excellent result without any recurrence and a high level of patient satisfaction.
