    (2014) Altinel, Faruk; Tuncel, Deniz; Ozturk, Ahmet; Acikalin, Mustafa Fuat
    Hydatid Cyst is a parasitic disease. The host is usually the intestine of dog. Hydatid cyst is caused by water and food contaminated with parasites' larva. Primary intracranial cyst hydatids are rare. Approximately 75% of intracranial cyst hydatids are encountered in children. We report a pediatric case with intracerebral hydatid cyst occuring with a lower extremity involvement 5 months after the surgery with clinical, radiological and histopathological features.
