Abstract

Cerebral hydatidosis is a rare disease, causing 1 to 3% of intracranial expansive processes. We report a case of a cerebral hydatic cyst in a 24-year-old man who had been seen for diplopia and intracranial hypertension syndrome. The CT and MRI of the brain showed a cystic mass, limited at the right lobe. The patient was operated, histology confirmed the diagnosis. Albendazole was prescribed immediately after surgery for 4 months. Clinic evolution has been favourable. The support of this particular location is discussed in light of literature data.
