Abstract

Echinococcisis is an emerging  zoonotic parasitic disease worldwide and  is a significant health burden among developing nations.  Cystic hydatidosis is more commonly found in lungs  and liver but  rarely cerebral involvement  can occur. Multiple hydatid cysts of brain are uncommon and may be wither primary or secondary. Hydatid cyst shoud  be considered as a differential diagnosis for cystic lesions of the brain. Here we are reporting a 8 year old boy with  multiple cerebral hydatid cysts recurring within three months after surgical rupture of a primary large cerebral hydatid cyst.
