Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Brain involvement in hydatid disease occurs in 1-2% of all Echinococcus granulosus infections. Secondary infection of intracranial hydatid cysts is extremely rare. CASE REPORT AND DISCUSSION: In this case report, we present a secondary infection of an intracranial hydatid cyst due to Clostridium ramosum, which is an extremely rare infectious pathogen in neurosurgical practice, and a potential pitfall in neuroradiological investigations.
