A case report of an unusual cerebral hydatid cyst

CONCLUSION: Intracranial hydatid cyst is an extremely rare condition and should always be considered a possible differential diagnosis in cases of cerebral cystic lesions. Hydrodissection is the preferred surgical method for resection; however, in atypical cases such as the one described here, meticulous dissection of the cyst capsule from the brain parenchyma may be successful with minimal risk of intraoperative rupture.PMID:38628511 | PMC:PMC11021106 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_70_2024
