Hidatik kist hastalığında beyin tutulumu yaygın değildir ve sıklıkla çocuklarda gözlenir. Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) incelemede perifokal ödemin eşlik etmesi beklenen bir bulgu değildir ve mevcut olması kistin infekte olduğunu gösterir. Biz bu yazımızda, beyin BT incelemede çevresel ödem gösteren ancak infekte olmayan hidatik kist olgumuzu sunduk.

Nadir BT bulgusunun eşlik ettiği beyinde hidatik kist olgusu

Brain involvement in hydatid disease is uncommon and usually seen in children. On computed tomography (CT) scans perifocal edema is not usually present and, when noted, usually reflects an infected cyst. We report an unusual case of an uninfected hydatid cystic lesion with surrounding edema on brain CT.
