ABSTRACT
Hydatid cyst is a pathology observed in developing countries; where it is a serious public health problem. Cerebral localisations are rare and the disease is primarily revealed by cranial hypertension signs, focal deficits, seizures and mental disturbances. The diagnosis is based on cerebral computerised tomography scan. The treatment is surgical with enucleation of the intact cyst. The authors report 31 cases of cerebral hydatid cyst operated during the period 1984 to 2001
