Aims:
Cerebral hydatic cysts are common in North African and pastoral countries but still underdiagnosed in sub-saharian ones.We report the first two casesoperated in Mali andhistologically proven of cerebral hydatic cysts.
Patients And Method:
Our study was aboutabout a 46 years old patient, admitted for Bravais-Jacksonian crisis, dysarthry and right hemiparesy, and another 38 years old male one, with a intracranial hypertension syndrome associated with cranial fistulized cerebral hydatic cyst.The CT scan has shown a cerebral cyst in the first case and multi-locular cysts in the second. The patients underwent surgery, with complete removal in one case and a rupture in the second case, but with a good outcome. Anatomo-pathological analysis concluded to hydatic cerebral cysts in both cases.
Conclusion:
With these first cases, the diagnosis of cerebral hydatic cyst must be evoked more frequently in our countries, because of the evolution of radiological diagnosis and surgical abilities.
