Cardiac hydatidosis, a rare infection often acquired by children, can affect multiple organs. This report details the surgical treatment of a very young patient with this uncommon cardiac condition.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Parasitology
Pediatric Surgery

Background:

Cardiac hydatidosis is a rare parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus.
The disease is endemic in sheep-raising regions and often affects children.
Transmission typically occurs through contact with infected dogs.

Observation:

A very young patient presented with cardiac hydatidosis.
The condition involved multivisceral (multiple organ) involvement.
This case represents one of the youngest reported instances of cardiac hydatidosis.

Findings:

Surgical intervention was performed for the cardiac hydatid cyst.
The patient's clinical and surgical experience was documented.
Successful management of a complex pediatric case was achieved.

Implications:

Highlights the importance of considering hydatidosis in endemic areas, even in young children.
Emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and surgical management of cardiac hydatidosis.
Contributes to the understanding of pediatric multivisceral hydatidosis and its surgical treatment.
