Primary Isolated Interventricular Hydatid Cyst With Left Ventricular Vegetation Presents With Neurological Manifestations: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: In areas where hydatid disease is endemic, hydatid cyst embolism should be recognized as a rare but important differential diagnosis in young patients presenting with stroke. Awareness of this potential etiology is essential for early detection, timely intervention, and prevention of severe neurological complications. Cardiac hydatid cysts are infrequent, representing 0.5%-2% of all hydatid disease cases. The left ventricular wall is the most common location for cardiac disease, while interventricular septum involvement is much rarer. Echocardiography is favorable as a non-invasive diagnostic tool with high sensitivity and low cost. Surgical removal with open heart surgery is the treatment of choice for such cysts. Here, we report a case of a hydatid cyst in a 17-year-old patient in the in
