Hydatid disease (HD), a parasitic infection, presents diverse imaging findings. Familiarity with these radiologic features is crucial for diagnosing HD, especially in endemic areas.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Parasitology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Hydatid disease (HD) is a widespread parasitic infection with varied manifestations.
  • The appearance of hydatid cysts (HCs) depends on cyst stage, complications, and affected organs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diverse imaging features of hydatid disease.
  • To highlight the utility of different imaging modalities in diagnosing HD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of radiologic findings across various imaging techniques including ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with cyst characteristics and affected organs.

Main Results:

  • Radiologic findings of HD range from cystic to solid lesions, with calcification common in liver, spleen, and kidney.

  • US excels at visualizing hydatid elements like sands and membranes; CT detects calcification; MR is key for CNS involvement.
  • HCs can grow large in compressible organs and present as solitary or multiple lesions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radiologic and serologic findings aid HD diagnosis, though atypical presentations can challenge differential diagnosis.
    • Understanding imaging characteristics of HD is vital for accurate diagnosis, particularly in endemic populations.
