Résumé
Cystic hydatidosis is an endemic parasitic disease with usual localization in liver and lungs. Rarely it localizes in uncommon sites, the right ventricle being an exceptional localization. We present an extremely rare case of a young man with hydatid pulmonary embolism complicating right-ventricle hydatid cysts. Echocardiography, CT pulmonary angiogram and MR-angiography were performed for the diagnostic evaluation. Our patient did not undergo surgery. He was discharged on a regimen of albendazole, and is still being followed-up. Hydatid disease rarely presents with pulmonary embolism. It has uncharacteristic clinical features, requiring particular diagnosis and therapy.
