@entity8434 , an @entity66 on the Asian continent, is caused by the tapeworm Tenia Echinococcus, which produces @entity96 and other organs. I reviewed 157 @entity1 with hydatid disease of the liver. The hydatid cysts were single in 125 @entity1 and predominantly in the right lobe, but multiple in 31 @entity1 , localized in both lobes or in the lung, spleen, pancreas, heart, or peritoneum. In 14 @entity1 , early complications were manifested by rupture of the cyst into the biliary tract, the lung, or the peritoneum. @entity281 was rare. Late postsurgical complications, noted in 10, were the development of an @entity733 or @entity82 . I evaluated the importance of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of @entity8434 of the liver and other visceral organs: It made a correct and accurate diagnosis in 96% of 157 @entity1 . But, in ruptured or @entity281 scans could not distinguish between a hydatid cyst and an @entity733 . Surgery is still the treatment of choice in hydatid disease. It is absolutely indicated in complicated cases, and is easy and curative in uncomplicated ones. I have used Mebendazole in 18 @entity1 for 2 years without significant benefit, except in two @entity1 with disseminated @entity8434 . Mebendazole stabilized the disease.
