Abstract
Hydatid cyst commonly affects liver and lung. Cardiac hydatid cyst is an extremely rare disease, due to the development in the heart of the larval form of Taenia Echinococcus granulosus. The diagnosis of this location is difficult due to the absence of specific clinical signs, and its prognosis is often guarded due to the risk of rupture and hematogenous dissemination. Clinical polymorphism, latency and severity of complications are the essential characteristics. We report the case of a child who has this exceptional location of hydatic cyst. The aim of this study is to report the presentation and management of cardiac Hydatid diseases.
