Özet

BACKGROUND: Hydatid cysts (HCs) are caused by parasites, the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. They usually affect the liver and lung, but primary brain involvement is rarely seen. HCs may cause a mass effect in the brain. For this reason, surgical excision must be performed. Complications may rarely occur after surgery. Recognition of complications is of vital importance.
