Area of Science:

Neurology
Infectious Diseases
Radiology

Background:

Hydatidosis is endemic in Morocco, with intracranial localization being uncommon.
Multiple intracranial hydatid cysts are exceedingly rare, typically affecting young individuals.

Observation:

A 22-year-old woman presented with symptoms of high intracranial pressure and seizures.
Recurrent multiple cerebral hydatid cysts were identified in the left parieto-occipital region via CT scan, showing calcifications.

Findings:

Diagnosis of cerebral hydatidosis was presumed based on clinical presentation and imaging.
Surgical excision of cysts followed by medical treatment confirmed the diagnosis parasitologically and histologically.
A transient neurological deficit was the sole postoperative complication, improving with early rehabilitation.

Implications:

This case underscores the possibility of recurrent multiple cerebral hydatidosis even after initial treatment.
Complete surgical resection and appropriate medical management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
Early detection and intervention are vital for managing this rare neurological parasitic disease.
