Liver hydatid cyst:
Anatomical- imaging correlation
Abstract
Echinococcus granulosus`s hydatidosis is a disease in frank decline but it is still common in our country.
Knowledge of preoperative imaging and the surgical anatomy of hepatic hydatidosis is essential for
establishing an accurate diagnosis and planning the most effective surgical technique. It also contributes
to safe postoperative follow-up, optimizing outcomes. This report presents a set of images that allow
integrate the main diagnostic elements with the intraoperative anatomy of a hepatic hydatid cyst.
