Echinococcosis of the heart: clinical and echocardiographic features in 19 patients.

T T Bashour1, A R Alali, D T Mason, M Saalouke.   

Abstract

We describe clinical and echocardiographic features in 19 patients with cardiac echinococcosis. Wide variability in the location and number of cysts inside cardiac cavities, septum, and pericardium is observed. The central role of two-dimensional echocardiography in making the diagnosis is stressed. This report has a significant clinical value in view of the large number of cases of a relatively rare condition.
