A case report of Anaphylactic shock following hydatid cyst surgery

Hydatid cyst is one of the most important parasitic disorders which cause some health issues in many countries such as Iran. In this disease, humans are intermediate host who may be infected via consumption of infected vegetables (infected with diseased dog feces). This disease could involve different organs in human body which the most common organs are liver and lungs. Cyst rupture could cause anaphylactic reactions and even death. In this paper we report a case of liver cyst rupture during surgery which treated with epinephrine and venoclysis and continued to the ICU. Patient discharged from ICU to ward after two days. As an anesthesiologist we should be always vigilant and prepared to encounter such events and the required equipment for these kinds of events must be at hand in operating theatre.
