Abstract
Mesenteric hydatid cyst in children is not common, even in endemic areas. The primary or secondary origin of this site, especially in children, remains controversial. Secondary peritoneal hydatid cyst mainly results from spontaneous or traumatic rupture of concurrent liver cysts or leakage of cystic contents during surgery. The aim of our study is to present a mesenteric hydatid cyst in children. Our study focuses on a single case of a child with peritoneal hydatid cyst, who underwent surgery in 2021 in the pediatric surgery department of the Mohammed VI hospital in Marrakech. The diagnosis is based on abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography and hydatidosis serology. The treatment is surgical by open or laparoscopic excision, which can be associated with medical treatment.
