Echinococcosis is the chronic parasitic disease arising due to contamination of an organism by larval form of Echinococcus granulosus helminth. This disease represents a serious diagnostic and medical problem. This article describes clinical observation of echinococcosis with damage of liver, lung and brain.

The rarity of affection of many organs, rapid growth of brain symptoms and incorrect interpretation of a computer tomography data of the brain have led to incorrect diagnosis and erroneous medical tactics.
