Precordial pain induced by the isolated cardiac hydatid cyst in interventricular septum: a case report
Abstract Background Human hydatid disease occurs after infection with Echinococcus granulosus, mainly involves liver and lung, while hydatid involves heart is infrequent. A great majority of hydatid diseases could be asymptomatic, and incidentally found through examination. Here, we reported a woman...

| description | Abstract Background Human hydatid disease occurs after infection with Echinococcus granulosus, mainly involves liver and lung, while hydatid involves heart is infrequent. A great majority of hydatid diseases could be asymptomatic, and incidentally found through examination. Here, we reported a woman who suffered an isolated cardiac hydatid cyst located at the interventricular septum. Case presentation A 48-year-old woman presented intermittent chest pain was admitted to the hospital. Imaging examination revealed a cyst located at the interventricular septum near the right ventricular apex. Considering medical history, radiological findings and serological results, cardiac hydatid disease was suspected. The cyst was successfully removed, while pathological biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of infection of Echinococcus granulosus. Postoperative course was uneventful, the patient was discharged from hospital without complications. Conclusion For symptomatic cardiac hydatid cyst, surgical resection is necessary to avoid progression of disease. During surgical procedure, appropriate methods to reduce the potential risk of hydatid cyst metastasis are essential. Besides surgery, combined with regular drug therapy is an effective strategy to prevent reappearance. |
