Abstract: | Cardiac hydatic cysts are rare and represent 0.5 to 2% of all hydatic cysts in humans, but usually associated with fatal complications. We report a case of a male 27 years old with a hydatid cyst located in left ventricle asymptomatic until rupture. It was diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiogram in a control. |
