Pulmonary and hepatic echinococcosis in children

Pediatric Radiology, 1978
Eighty children suffering from pulmonary and/or hepatic echinococcosis are reported. The epidemiological and parasitological aspects are reviewed, and the importance of the radiological signs and differential diagnosis are emphasized.

Management of hepatic echinococcosis in pregnancy

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2010
A 29-year-old woman presented with left flank pain at 20 weeks of pregnancy. She had lived in Turkey during her childhood. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging revealed 3 partially calcified hepatic cysts with a maximum diameter of 9.6 cm and echinococcus multilocularis was confirmed serologically.

Computed tomography in hepatic echinococcosis

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1982
Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate 50 cases of hydatid disease of the liver. It was definite in 49 cases and negative in one case. Pre- and postcontrast scans were performed. CT may reveal the exact location and extension of cysts and possible complications. However, a false-negative case was found in a hydatid cyst located in a fatty liver.

Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis

Acta Radiologica, 1999
Alveolar echinococcosis is a rare parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis and most commonly involves the liver. Early diagnosis and precise evaluation of the localisation and the extent of the lesions are essential for treatment. In this report, we present US and CT findings in a patient with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.

MRI findings of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis

Clinical Imaging, 2003
Diagnosis of liver infestation by alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is based on serologic, sonographic and computed tomography (CT) findings. Experience with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates that features of this disease are limited. CT and MRI findings of 14 cases with hepatic AE were compared in this report.

Giant hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in an adult

The American Journal of Surgery, 2009
Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis is a serious disease that is characterized by tumor-like infiltrative growth. At present, complicated cases of the disease are few, and yet the treatment is controversial. In this article, we report a patient with a giant hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: MRI findings

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2000
The purpose of this study was to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) on T(1)-weighted, T(2)-weighted and postgadolinium images. A total of 13 lesions were demonstrated in 13 patients. All patients underwent MR examination at 1 T imager.

ERCP findings in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1991
Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) is a rare disease, but it is reported to be endemic in some regions of the world.s It behaves like a slow-growing tumor which infiltrates surrounding tissues. Formerly, in most cases laparotomy was needed to establish the diagnosis.

Diagnosis and treatment of Hepatic echinococcosis: an overview

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2004
Surgery has long been considered the first-choice treatment in patients with echinococcosis of the liver. The poorly predictable outcome of older studies using mebendazole or albendazole confirmed this belief. Since the introduction of a percutaneous technique (PAIR; puncture, aspiration, injection, reaspiration) treatment policy is changing.

Management of hepatic echinococcosis in Southern California

The American Journal of Surgery, 1986
In the United States, hydatid disease of the liver is being seen with increasing frequency in persons who have immigrated from endemic areas. At the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, 24 patients with 46 echinococcal cysts were managed over a 26 year period.
