    Cardiac hydatid disease is rare and often asymptomatic. This case highlights a latent heart cyst revealed by complications, emphasizing the need for prompt echocardiography for diagnosis and timely treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Parasitology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Cardiac hydatid disease is a rare parasitic infection, often presenting latently.
    • Isolated cardiac echinococcosis is uncommon and can be challenging to diagnose.

    Observation:

    • A 42-year-old patient presented with abnormal EKG repolarization, revealing an anechoic cardiac mass.
    • Coronography showed an avascular lesion with displaced coronary arteries, suggesting a hydatid cyst.

    Findings:

    • The patient developed acute pericarditis and cardiac tamponade two years later, with surgery revealing a large hydatid cyst.
    • Postoperative complications included postpericardotomy syndrome and positive serology, managed successfully with flubendazole.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores that isolated cardiac hydatid disease can be latent and revealed by serious complications.
    • Echocardiography is crucial for prompt diagnosis of cardiac hydatid disease.
    • Antiparasitic therapy with flubendazole can lead to favorable outcomes in cardiac echinococcosis.
