Abstract

Cardiac hydatid cysts (CHC) are rare complications of echinococcosis, often presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a case of recurrent CHC in a 35-year-old male with a history of cerebral and pelvic hydatid cysts. Diagnostic imaging revealed significant cardiac involvement, necessitating surgical intervention. Postoperative management included a combination of albendazole and praziquantel, resulting in marked improvement during follow-up. This case highlights the complexities of treating recurrent CHC and suggests that combination therapy may offer benefits in managing extensive cysts. Further research is needed to refine treatment strategies for such cases.

阿苯达唑与吡喹酮联合治疗心脏及多器官包虫病1例新治疗方法及文献复习

心脏包虫病（CHC）是罕见的并发症包虫病，往往提出诊断和治疗的挑战。我们报告一例复发CHC在一个35岁的男性与脑和盆腔包虫囊肿的历史。诊断影像显示明显的心脏受累，需要手术干预。术后治疗包括阿苯达唑和吡喹酮的联合应用，随访时明显改善。该病例强调了治疗复发性CHC的复杂性，并提示联合治疗可能对治疗广泛囊肿有好处。需要进一步的研究来完善这类病例的治疗策略。

期刊介绍： Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
