La hidatidosis es una zoonosis causada por la larva del cestodo Echinococcus granulosus. La afectación cerebral en el ser humano es inusual, solo en el 1-2% de los casos se observa compromiso encefálico. Este cuadro se presenta fundamentalmente en población pediátrica y se caracteriza por la presencia de quistes únicos y uniloculares. A continuación, se presenta el caso de una paciente de 29 años que acude a urgencias por una cefalea invalidante de varias semanas de evolución. El estudio cerebral mediante imagen, revela la presencia de una masa de origen desconocido, siendo el diagnóstico final de quiste hidatídico bilobulado. A propósito de este caso, se revisarán los aspectos clínico-epidemiológicos, los diagnósticos y los tratamientos de la hidatidosis cerebral.(AU)
Echinococcosis is a zoonosis caused by the larval form of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus. The cerebral affectation in the human is uncommon; only in 12% cases is observed encephalic involvement. This condition occurs mainly in the pediatric population and it is characterized by the presence of single and unilocular cysts. We report a case of a 29-year-old patient who came to the emergency department with a disabling headache of several weeks of evolution. In the brain imaging study a mass of unknown origin was visualized, finally it turned out to be a bilobed hydatid cyst. Regarding this case, the clinic-epidemiological, diagnostics and treatments aspects of cerebral hydatid disease will be reviewed.(AU)
