Abstract:
We report a rare case of intraperitoneal hepatic hydatid cyst perforation in a 7 years-old boy. Diagnosis was performed by ultrasounds, computerized tomography scan, and serology. Surgical treatment was followed by pharmacologic treatment with the aim of avoiding a relapse. A brief review of the diagnostic and therapeutic management of the disease is provided.

01:22Esophageal Perforation-I: Introduction
Esophageal perforation is a severe medical condition characterized by a breach in the integrity of the esophageal wall. This breach can occur due to various factors such as trauma, medical procedures, or underlying diseases. When the esophageal wall is compromised, it allows food, fluids, and digestive juices into the chest cavity or adjacent structures, leading to potential complications and health risks.
The location of esophageal perforation can vary, occurring anywhere along the esophagus.

01:28Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.
