ACCIDENTAL DRAINAGE OF A CEREBRAL HYDATID CYST INTO THE PERITONEAL CAVITY

Abstract

Intracranial hydatidosis is more common in children than in adults. The most severe complication is anaphylactic response after direct rupture into the subarachnoid spaces. We report a case of brain hydatid cyst that was accidentally drained into the peritoneal cavity and was not complicated by an anaphylactic response or dissemination.
