This report details a rare case of multiple, bilateral cerebral hydatid cysts in a child. Surgical intervention successfully treated the condition, leading to an uneventful recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Cerebral hydatid cysts are rare parasitic infections of the brain.
  • Multiple and bilateral presentations are exceptionally uncommon, particularly in pediatric cases.

Observation:

  • An eight-year-old child presented with signs of cranial hypertension and homonymous hemianopsia.
  • Diagnostic imaging, specifically a cerebral CT scan, identified multiple and bilateral hydatid cysts.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision was performed in two stages to address the extensive cystic lesions.
  • The patient experienced a complete and uneventful recovery following the surgical procedures.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in pediatric neurological presentations.

  • Successful surgical management of multiple cerebral hydatid cysts is achievable, even in complex bilateral cases.
  • Early diagnosis through advanced imaging is crucial for effective treatment and patient outcomes.
