The disease results from infection by tapeworm larvae of the genus Echinococcus - notably, E. granulosus, E. multilocularis, E vogeli and E. oligarthrus. Cyst hydatid disease is usually seen in adults, and mainly affects liver and/or lungs (90%). Cerebral involvement is very rare (1-3%), and more common in children. Therapy consists of medical treatment and surgical intervention if it is possible. The authors report the case of a 55-year-old male patient with multiple intracranial hydatid cysts, who was successfully treated with albendazole (10 mg/kg/day) alone without any surgical intervention.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAlbendazoleEchinococcosisSurgical procedures, operativeArticle5427982213139602-s2.0-78649339670Q2WOS:000282035100006Q4
