Abstract :
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.
