Cetrimide-Chlorhexidine-Induced acute hepatic failure

Hydatid cystsarefrequently found in the liver and may be asymptomatic until growth occurs. Scolicidal agents, such as cetrimide-chlorhexidine, have been used safely in hydatid cyst surgery for many years. Here we presenta case of acute hepatic failure after the usage of the cetrimide-chlorhexidine solution during hepatic hydatid cyst surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such report in the literature.
