Clinical and echocardiographic features of interventricular septum hydatid cyst

Hydatid cardiac cyst [HCC] is rare. The aim of our study is to determine clinical and echocardiographic features of HCC of interventricular septum. We studied 3 patients aged between 21 and 33 years old, 2 of them presented a typical syncope. An extra cardiac localization of hydatid cyst is found in 2 cases. The transthoracic echocardiography showed a mass developed in inter-ventricular septum, it was cystic non-echogenic in 2 cases and pseudotumoral one time. All our patients were operated and 2 of them required a pace maker implantation because of conduction abnormalities
