    (Hermiston Publications Ltd, 2006) Itumur, K.; Tamam, Yusuf; Karabulut, Aziz; Güzel, Aslan; Kılıç, Nihal
    Cardiac and cerebral hydatid cysts are rarely encountered. In this case, we report a male patient admitted to our hospital with hemiparesis, headache and dysphasia which occurred as a result of complications of both 3,1x3,5 cm single hydatid cyst in the left cardiac ventricle and multiple cerebral hydatid cysts (approximately 18 particles, the largest being 3 × 2,2cm). He had undergone surgery 17 month earlier due to a multiple brain hydatid cysts. Although he had been treated with albendazole, multiple cerebral hydatid cysts re-appeared 17 months after operation. This was a rare case in which left ventricular intracavitary hydatid cyst occurred together with brain multiple cysts at the same time. Physicians should be alert about the probability of cardiac involvement when a cerebral hydatid cyst is diagnosed and appropriate investigations should always be conducted.
