Abstract
Abstract One hundred and fifty cases of hydatid cysts affecting different organs were studied and of these 78 cases were hepatic. Intrabiliary rupture is the commonest complication and was found in 32 cases. The greatest incidence is at about 40 years of age. Males are affected more than females. The clinical presentation of occult intrabiliary rupture with suppuration is described and the source of infection of the cyst is proved to be biliary in origin. Jaundice which is obstructive might develop and a convenient term, “hydatid jaundice”, is suggested. Evaluation of various surgical procedures for the management of such cases is discussed.
