Case report: Multiple intracranial hydatid cysts with post-operative dissemination

Abstract

A case of primary multiple intracranial hydatid cysts is reported. The cysts were both supratentorial and infratentorial. One showed rim enhancement and perifocal oedema. Post-operatively, the number and size of cysts increased, possibly because of intraoperative rupture. © 1991 The Royal College of Radiologists. All rights reserved.
