A Rare Case of Large Hepatic Hydatid Cyst in Pregnancy
Abstract: Human hydatidosis is a parasitic infection caused by the larval stages of Echinococcus (E.). This condition is rare in pregnancy, with an incidence of 1 in 20, 000 to 30, 000 pregnancies (1). In many cases, Echinococcus infections are asymptomatic for years, with symptoms only appearing once the cysts grow to a large enough size. There is no established consensus on how to manage these infections during pregnancy. We present a case of a large hepatic hydatid cyst diagnosed during the early second trimester and discuss the management for such a pregnancy.
