A 7-year-old girl living in a rural area was admitted to our hospital with a history of headache, right-sided hemiparesis, and dysphasia. She had been treated 6 months previously for a cerebral infarct, diagnosed from sudden altered consciousness and a myoclonic generalised convulsion. The growth rate determined for the cerebral hydatid cyst was about 4.5 cm during the 6-month period. In children a parasitic cyst can be the source of a cerebral embolus, particularly in areas where hydatid disease resulting from cardiac echinococcosis is endemic.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCerebral Hydatid CystGrowth RateEmbolismCardiac EchinococcosisReview Article1712743745WOS:0001732154000082-s2.0-00356684531186244110.1007/s003810100498Q2Q2
