Deep Seated Cerebral Hydatid Cyst and Its Anesthetic Considerations: A Case Report
In the current study, we reported a successfully managed case of giant cerebral hydatid cyst in a 59-year-old male. Cerebral hydatid disease is a rare manifestation of echinococcosis representing 1% - 2% of all cases with hydatid disease. The mainstay of its treatment is surgical excision of entire intracranial cystic lesion, avoiding intra-operative rupture, which can result in subsequent recurrence or anaphylactic reaction. The surgery can be associated with intraoperative complications (including anaphylaxis, bleeding, neurological deficits, development of subdural effusion, epidural hematoma, and pneumocephalus), especially in the cases where the cyst is infected. All of these complications are of significant concern for the anesthesiologists. Thus, it is of paramount importance for anesthesiologists to consider the intra-operative challenges and possible required actions preoperatively.
