Özet

Hydatid cyst of the posterior cranial fossa is rarely seen. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with extradural hydatid cyst of the posterior cranial fossa presenting with the symptoms of high intracranial pressure. Diagnosis was made by radiological investigations and confirmed during surgery and by histological examination. Cranial hydatid cyst must be considered especially in children presenting with the symptoms of raised intracranial pressure and living in endemic areas.
