Imaging of Thoracic Hydatid Cysts, Point of view of the Radiologist

Abstract

Quick Response Code Abstract: Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease endemic, and represents a real public health problem in our country. In adult, thoracic hydatidosis represents the second localization where pulmonary localization is largely predominant. Imaging in particular CT has a fundamental role in the positive diagnosis and the search for complications. The aim of our work is to illustrate the radiological aspects of thoracic hydatid cyst, through a retrospective study of 40 cases, collected over a period of 2 years (from January 2017 to December 2018) at Radiology Service of the Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Marrakech, Morocco.
