RESUMEN
El quiste hidatídico es una enfermedad parasitaria humana causada por el estado quístico del parasito Echinococcus granulosus. En el Perú la prevalencia de hidatidosis humana en los últimos 5 años oscila de 7 û 11 / 100 000 habitantes. Se localizan principalmente en hígado (> 65% de los casos) y en pulmones (25%). La localización cardiaca es infrecuente; reportándose entre 0,5 a 2%. Presentamos el caso de un niño de 11 años con quiste hidatídico cardíaco tratado quirúrgicamente utilizando circulación extracorpórea y clamplaje aórtico, en forma exitosa.
ABSTRACT
Hydatid cyst is a human parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Prevalence of human hydatid disease in Peru during the last 5 years ranges from 7-11 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The disease is mainly localized in the liver (>65% of cases) and in the lungs (25%). Involvement of the heart is rare, reported in 0.5-2% of cases. We present the case of an 11-year-old child with cardiac hydatidosis successfully removed using extracorporeal circulation and aortic cross-clamp.
