Abstract
A unique case of pontine hydatid cyst is reported. Diagnosis was considered preoperatively on the basis of computed tomographic findings. Needle aspiration and removal of the endocyst were performed through the floor of the fourth ventricle. Postoperative death was due to widespread hemorrhagic infarction of the brainstem. Possible involved mechanisms are discussed.Entities:
