Resumen

En la actualidad la hidatidosis es una parasitosis accidental, siendo su ubicación cerebral rara. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 33años que llega a emergencias por síndrome de hipertensión endocraneana y focalización derecha. La tomografía computarizada mostró una lesión quística frontoparietal izquierda, la cual es intervenida quirúrgicamente, realizándose la exéresis completa de la lesión con buena evolución posterior. La hidatidosis es una patología poco frecuente a nivel cerebral, por lo que es importante la sospecha clínica para orientar los estudios al diagnóstico precoz. Revisamos la patogenia, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la hidatidosis cerebral.

Abstract

Hydatid disease is an accidental parasitosis, with brain location being rare. The case is reported of a 33year-old male, with no history of note, who was admitted to hospital with intracranial hypertension syndrome and right hemiparesis. Computed tomography showed a cystic lesion in the left frontal-parietal lobule. Surgery was performed by complete excision of the lesion, with a good outcome. Hydatid disease is a rare condition in the brain. Clinical suspicion is important for an early diagnosis. A review is presented on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cerebral hydatid disease.
