Abstract:
The case of a 9-year-old-boy with a left frontal hydatid cyst is reported. The infection was transmitted by a dog, the final host and a companion of the child. Recovery without complications was accomplished after puncturing, systemic antihelminthic therapy using mebendazole and, finally, total removal of the cyst.
