RESUMEN
La hidatidosis es una parasitosis cuyo agente etiológico es el céstodo del género Echinococcus, siendo las especies más frecuentemente involucradas la E. granulosus y E. multilocularis. Puede afectar a cualquier órgano, aunque con mayor frecuencia se asocia a compromiso hepático y pulmonar. Los hallazgos imagenológicos clásicos en órganos habitualmente comprometidos están ampliamente descritos, no así en localizaciones poco comunes. Presentamos un caso de hidatidosis multiorgánica con compromiso peritoneal y pericárdico, estudiado con ultrasonido y tomografía computada, con revisión de la literatura actualmente disponible al respecto.
ABSTRACT
Abstract. Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease whose etiologic agent is the tapeworm of the genus Echinococ-cus, the species most frequently involved being E. granulosus and E. multilocularis. It can affect any organ, but most often is associated with liver and lung involvement. The classic imaging findings in organs that are usually involved are fully described, but not so for those in unusual locations. We report a case of multi-organ hydatidosis with peritoneal and pericardial commitment, studied with ultrasound and computed tomography, with a review of the currently available literature regarding this.
