Hepatic hydatid cysts are a serious medical problem in some regions like Mediterranean region. In Croatia 25-30 new cases of hepatic hydatid cysts are recorded each year. In University Hospital Dubrava 7 patients with hepatic hydatid cysts were operated in 2008. Surgical approach recognizes open laparotomy and laparoscopy. The case and technique of laparoscopic operation of hepatic hydatid cyst in seventh segment and three disseminated intraabdominal cysts is described. Laparoscopy should be attempted even in complex cases with dissemination.. ...

Background Several techniques have been described in liver hydatid disease surgery, with most well known partial cystectomy, capitonage and introflexion.

HPB Surgery is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that offers ready access to important developments in the field of HPB surgery and associated disciplines. We aim to publish fresh experimental and clinical work across the spectrum of HPB disease, while concentrating on those conditions for which surgical treatment - not necessarily an actual operation - is a common option. Thus diabetes mellitus and hepatitis, for example, might belong more appropriately elsewhere, though not if the paper should concern pancreatic transplantation or virally-induced hepatoma.

Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is an underreported, often misdiagnosed and mistreated parasitic disease mainly due to its low incidence. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of human AE patients in Hungary for the first time. Between 2003 and 2018, epidemiological and clinical data of suspected AE patients were collected retrospectively from health database management systems. This case series included a total of 16 AE patients. The mean age of patients was 53 years (range: 24-78 years). The sex ratio was 1:1. Four patients (25%) revealed no recurrence after radical surgery and adjuvant albendazole (ABZ) therapy. For five patients (31.3%) with unresectable lesions, a stabilization of lesions with ABZ treatment was achieved. In seven patients (43.8%), progression of AE was documented. The mean diagnostic delay was 33 months (range: 1-122 months). Three AE related deaths (fatality rate 18.8%) were recorded. AE is

Liver hydatid cyst is a disease of zoonosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus or less frequently by Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus oligarthrus. The primary carriers are canines, while human beings are secondary hosts. Early diagnosis is important for cysts not to become complicated and for the treatment not to get difficult. The most effective treatment of uncomplicated hydatid cyst is to reduce the dead space of the cavity and to discharge the fluid as much as possible. However, if the cysts get complex, there is no standard treatment management defined other than offered management options by authors. In complex conditions, the treatment is determined according to the stage of the cyst and the relation of the cyst with biliary ducts or surrounding organs. In this chapter, the treatment regimens of liver hydatid disease mainly based on interventions and surgical operations are going to take a part.

The Surgical Management of Hydatid Cyst of the Liver: What is New?. By Mehmet Mihmanli, Mert Tanal, Emre Bozkurt and Onur Guven.

This research is a study on the molecular level of Echinococcus granulosus (larval stage) on, where 7 samples of hydatid cysts were collected from parasite intermediate hosts: Human (liver, spleen, lung) and liver of sheep, goat, cattle and buffaloes. DNA was extracted from germinal layer cells of hydatid cysts which were isolated shortly or preserved for various periods in 70% ethanol. Genetic analysis of isolated DNA from hydatid cysts collected from human and animals was done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine genetic variation depending on random amplified polymorphic DNA. In the present study, 10 primers were used during which the genetic variations were revealed among isolated (extracted DNA) hydatid cysts which was collected from human and other intermediate hoists except cows and buffaloes. The results of this study showed the following: 1. One primer (OPA – 01) was able to diagnose sample 1 which represent the isolated DNA of liver hydatid cyst obtained from

Abstract. There is controversy concerning the management of the remaining cavity after the evacuation of a cyst in patients who have undergone surgical operation for liver hydatidosis. This study compares the results of capitonnage and tube drainage of the remaining cavity. In this retrospective study, participants were selected from two groups of patients with a liver hydatid cyst who underwent capitonnage or tube drainage from 2004 to 2012. The patients were followed for 6-24 months. The data of age, sex, involved liver lobe, size of the cyst, complications, drain duration, and hospital stay were analyzed. Participants included 155 patients consisting of 96 (61.94%) females and 59 (38.06%) males. Most cysts were in the right lobe, and the most common diameter of the cysts was greater than 10 cm. Capitonnage was performed on 90 (58.06%) patients and the tube drainage procedure was performed on the remaining 65 (41.94%) patients. In the tube drainage group and the capitonnage group, the ...

Varicella-zoster virus A 43-year-old female patient underwent several abdominal surgeries including a liver hydatid cyst operation (34 years ago); Roux-N-Y anastomosis plus hepaticojejunostomy plus cholecystectomy (27 years ago); and left salpyngectomy plus lower intestinal resection and end-to-end anastomosis (16 months ago).

Can patients with type 3 cysts be treated safely with percutaneous drainage? Faced with serious complications such as bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, rupture of cyst content into the biliary tree, sepsis due to cyst infection, and obstruction of portal and hepatic veins, we modified the PAIR procedure in these patients. After puncture and aspiration, the cyst content is evacuated via a 8-18 F catheter by frequent injection and reaspiration of small amounts of isotonic saline (20-40 ml) using a 60 ml syringe. The daughter cysts readily rupture when aspirated into the catheter. Puncture of each single daughter cyst is not necessary. We avoid injection of alcohol into the mother cyst because of the high occurrence of a cystobiliary fistula. Six of the 10 patients with type 3 cysts that we treated in this way had a cystobiliary fistula. In three the fistula was present before percutaneous aspiration was initiated. In the other three patients the fistula became apparent only after the procedure ...

If apalutamide is discontinued, consider estimating a Xifaxan (rifaximin) dose and reduction and monitor for signs of liver hydatid disease. Prinivil (lisinopril) should treatments be similarly used with extreme caution was in patients with hyperkalemia.

SSTMP Posters 168 Alveolar echinococcosis: in vitro studies and experimental investigations in vivo identify potential novel treatment option A Hemphil [1] [1]Institute of Parasitology, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland For the chemotherapy of cystic (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), albendazole and mebendazole are presently used for the treatment of non-surgical cases and as a supplementary treatment prior and post-surgery. However, in AE these benzimidazoles do not appear to be parasiticidal in vivo. In addition, failures in drug treatments as wel as the occurrence of side effects have been reported, leading to discontinuation of treatment or to progressive disease. New drugs are needed to cure AE and CE, which must be regarded as neglected diseases. Compounds that are currently being considered to represent novel chemotherapeutical treatment options include broad-spectrum anti-infective or anti-cancer drugs, drugs that interfere in the Echinococcus signal ing pathways, and drugs ...

Note the following: Indications: Chemotherapy with benzimidazoles is used perioperatively for approximately 2 years in patients in whom radical resection is feasible because of possible undetected re... more

The fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis causes human alveolar echinococcosis, commonly affecting the liver. However, in ∼1% of cases, systematic spread of the disease involves the brain as well. A patient had a 6-year history of liver and lung alveolar echinococcosis that was considered not suitable for surgery, and treatment with albendazole was introduced. After the appearance of neurologic disturbances, an intracranial mass lesion was demonstrated by radiologic imaging. The lesion was surgically removed, and histologic analysis revealed metacestode tissue of E. multilocularis. Despite the surgical resection of the lesion, the patient died of progression of systemic alveolar echinococcosis. The authors highly recommend implementing neurologic monitoring to the follow-up algorithm for patients with systemically disseminated alveolar echinococcosis. When neurologic symptoms occur, radiologic imaging of the brain should be obtained immediately. Surgery should be considered for all ...

Cerebral alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is rare and mostly associated with liver involvement. We report an exceptional case of a 62-year-old man with a hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia harboring a primary cerebral AE mimicking neurocysticercosis with |100 cerebral lesions and without liver involvement. Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare zoonotic infection caused by the metacestode of the fox tapeworm, Echinococcus multilocularis. Endemic regions of AE are mainly limited to the Northern Hemisphere, especially to western China, Central Europe, Alaska, Russia, and Japan [1]. The main risk factors associated with human AE are rural settings, living near a forest, mountain climate, being a farmer, and being a dog owner. Humans become accidentally infected through the ingestion of eggs shed in the feces of definite hosts (eg, foxes, dogs) [1]. Primary extrahepatic involvement of AE is rare, and cerebral involvement is unusual [1]. We report an exceptional case of primary cerebral AE in which

Abstract. Little is known about the long-term effectiveness of albendazole in the medical therapy of non-complicated hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) in resource-constrained settings. We performed a retrospective review of patients starting albendazole for HCE in Lima, Peru from January 1997 to December 2007. Patients successfully recontacted underwent chart abstraction and clinical and ultrasonographic reevaluation. Descriptive statistics were used to delineate patient characteristics and treatment effectiveness at the conclusion of albendazole and after reevaluation. Patients (N = 27) were primarily female, mean age was 51. Initial treatment success at albendazole conclusion was 26% (N = 7) per patient and 37.5% (N = 24) per cyst. After 3.8 ± 2.5 years, albendazole success was 34% (N = 9) per patient and 40% (N = 24) per cyst. We found a gap in the effectiveness of albendazole HCE therapy compared with the efficacy reported in clinical trials. This underscores the need for further investigation

Rupture of hydatid liver cyst into biliary tree is frequent complications that involvethe common hepatic duct, lobar biliary branches, the small intrahepatic bile ducts,but rarely rupture into common bile duct. The rupture of hydatid cyst is serious life threating event. The authors are reporting a case of total rupture of hydatid cyst of liver into common bile duct. A 50-year-old male patient who presented with acute cholangitis was diagnosed as a case of totally rupture of hydatid cyst on Abdominal CT Scan. Rupture of hydatid cyst of liver into common bile duct and the gallbladder was confirmed on surgery. Treated by cholecystectomy and T-tube drainage of Common bileduct. Key words: hydatid liver cyst, Rupture, Common bile duct (CBD),jaundice.

Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. The two major types of infection in humans are cystic echinococcosis (CE) or hydatidosis and alveolar echinococcosis (AE). It is endemic in some parts of the world, such as the Middle East, with Iran being a part of it. This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to determine the prevalence of CE and AE echinococcosis and their epidemiological and clinical aspects in Iran. Electronic databases, including MEDLINE (via PubMed), SCOPUS, Web of Science, SID and Mag Iran (two Persian scientific search engines) were searched from 1 January 1990 to 8 August 2017. The prevalence of CE and AE echinococcosis was estimated using the random effects meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was evaluated by subgroup analysis. Data were analyzed by STATA version 12. Of the 2051 records identified in the mentioned electronic databases, Seventy-eight articles met our eligibility criteria, with a total of

Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease of tapeworms of the Echinococcus type. The two main types of the disease are cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis. Less common forms include polycystic echinococcosis and unicystic echinococcosis. The disease often starts without symptoms and this may last for years. The symptoms and signs that occur depend on the cysts location and size. Alveolar disease usually begins in the liver but can spread to other parts of the body, such as the lungs or brain. When the liver is affected the person may have abdominal pain, weight loss, and turn slightly yellow from jaundice. Lung disease may cause pain in the chest, shortness of breath and coughing. The disease is spread when food or water that contains the eggs of the parasite is eaten or by close contact with an infected animal. The eggs are released in the stool of meat-eating animals that are infected by the parasite. Commonly infected animals include dogs, foxes and wolves. For these animals to ...

Cardiac tamponade as the initial manifestation of metastatic cancer is a rare clinical entity. Furthermore, a thoraco-biliary fistula is another rare complication of echinococcosis due to rupture of hydatid cysts located at the upper surface of the liver to the pleural or pericardial cavity. We report a case of non-small cell lung cancer with a coexisting hepatic hydatid cyst presenting as a bilious pericardial effusion. A 66-year-old patient presented with cardiac tamponade of unknown origin. Chest CT-scan demonstrated a left central lung tumor, a smaller peripheral one, bilateral pleural effusions and a hydatid cyst on the dome of the liver in close contact to the diaphragm and pericardium. Pericardiotomy with drainage was performed, followed by bleomycin pleurodesis. The possible mechanism for the bilious pericardial effusion might be the presence of a pericardio-biliary fistula created by the hepatic hydatid cyst. This is the first case of a bilious pericardial effusion at initial presentation in a

Humans become infected when they swallow the tapeworm eggs in contaminated food. The eggs then form cysts inside the body. A cyst is a closed pocket or pouch. The cysts keep growing, which leads to symptoms.. E granulosus is an infection caused by tapeworms found in dogs, and livestock such as sheep, pigs, goats, and cattle. These tapeworms are around 2 to 7 mm long. The infection is called cystic echinococcosis (CE). It leads to growth of cysts mainly in the lungs and liver. Cysts can also be found in the heart, bones, and brain.. E multilocularis is the infection caused by tapeworms found in dogs, cats, rodents, and foxes. These tapeworms are around 1 to 4 mm long. The infection is called alveolar echinococcosis (AE). It is a life-threatening condition because tumor-like growths form in the liver. Other organs, such as the lungs and brain can be affected.. Children or young adults are more prone to get the infection.. Echinococcosis is common in:. ...

For 50 years, E. multilocularis was thought to be confined to the Alaskan coast and Canada. Now, because wild coyotes, foxes, and wolves are being trapped and transported to states where E. multilocularis has not previously been found, there is increased risk of spreading the disease to animals and humans. Wild animals carrying the tapeworm could set up the transmission cycle and expose animals not already infected. Many states prohibit this movement of wild animals, but trapping and movement of infected wild canines still occurs. If the transportation and relocation of these animals continues, the risk of human transmission will increase. Although the chances of contracting AE are low, certain groups may be at greater risk.. You may be at greater risk if you live in an area where E. multilocularis is found (see above). People at high risk include trappers, hunters, veterinarians, or others who contact wild foxes, coyotes, or their stool, or household cats and dogs who have the opportunity to ...

Background: Intra-biliary rupture of hydatid cyst [IBRH] is not a rare complication of hydatid disease of the liver and surgery until recently is the only definitive treatment. With the introduction of ERCP preoperatively or postoperatively there was a great reduction in the operative complications. There were reports in which the ERCP was the sole treatment of this condition. Objective: To evaluate role of ERCP in the management of cases of IBRH. Design: A retrospective study of 7 cases of IBRH and prospective study of 5 cases of IBRH managed by ERCP. Setting: The ERCP Unit of Kurditan Center for Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Asulaimaneyah-Iraqi, Kurdistan, Iraq. Main Outcome Measurements: Improvement in the symptoms, obstructive liver functions pattern and ultrasonic findings in these patients following ERCP management. Methods: This is a study of 12 cases of IBRH managed by ERCP in the Kurdistan Center of Gastroenterology (KCGE) in Asulaimaneyah-Iraq, from 2007-2010. Seven cases of these were

In uncertain cases, MR imaging may be performed to confirm the hypothesis and visualize the lesion in different planes. It is the best imaging procedure to demonstrate a cystic component. It helps establish vascular or biliary tree involvement as well as extrahepatic extension. Usually described as an ill-defined partially solid and partially cystic lesion, the appearance of alveolar echinococcosis at MR imaging was recently categorized into five types by Kodama et al (8). Multiple small cysts without a solid component are type 1 (4%), a solid component associated with small cysts is type 2 (40%), a solid component associated with irregular large cysts is type 3 (46%), a solid component with no cysts is type 4 (4%), and a large cyst without a solid component is type 5 (6%). According to this classification, our case would correspond to type 1. Alveolar echinococcosis is reported to exhibit variable signal intensities on T1- and T2-weighted images and to demonstrate slight enhancement on ...

Bone hydatid disease lacks a typical clinical appearance and image characteristics on x ray or CT are similar to those of tuberculosis, metastases and giant cell tumour or bone cysts. However, MRI does show distinctive diagnostic features of bone hydatid disease, especially in the spine. Until recently, treatment of osseous hydatid disease has been entirely surgical.

Background An increasing variety of publications are suggesting that galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble cadherin fragments, such as for example E-cadherin (sE-CAD) and N-cadherin (sN-CAD), could be considered as cancers markers. in the EDTA plasma of sufferers experiencing echinococcosis (N = 20), liver organ malignancies (N = 10) and healthful topics (N = 20) had been assessed using the ELISA technique. Outcomes The plasma focus of sE-CAD was lower (p = 0.0381), which of Gal-3 higher (p = 0.0288), in echinococcosis than in the healthy group. Nevertheless, just the focus of sE-CAD differed considerably among the three analysed groups. In echinococcosis there was a correlation between the sE-CAD and CRP levels (rs = 0.79; p = 0.0066) as well as a correlation between the sE-CAD level and the number of leukocytes (rs = 0.65; p = 0.0210) in the blood. Conclusions Echinococcosis affects the concentration of soluble sE-CAD fragments and Gal-3 in plasma. sE-CAD can be considered as a marker for ...

Albendazole is extensively metabolized in the liver, but there are few data regarding the drug′s use in patients with hepatic disease. Single-dose albendazole therapy in humans is largely without side effects (overall frequency, ≤1%). More prolonged courses (e.g., as administered for cystic and alveolar echinococcal disease) have been associated with liver function abnormalities and bone marrow toxicity. Thus, when prolonged use is anticipated, the drug should be administered in treatment cycles of 28 days interrupted by 14 days off therapy. Prolonged therapy with full-dose albendazole (800 mg/d) should be approached cautiously in patients also receiving drugs with known effects on the cytochrome P450 system. ...

Preventive isolation and application of a tape around the subhepatic caval vein and above the confluence of hepatic veins can be a safety precaution discount 0.25mg digoxin with visa arrhythmia 2014 ascoms. It should be kept in mind that a hepatic vein laceration proximal to the confluence is to be feared more for air embolism than for bleeding. As for bleeding during total pericystectomy, the aversion shown for a long time by surgeons to this operation was directed against bleeding, at times dramatic, caused by it. This is a possible occurrence, but only when liver surgery is performed by inexperienced surgeons. As for the amount of blood that should be available for transfusion, within wide variations, 2-4 units are required for peripheral cysts and 6-7 for central ones. Autotransfusion and intraoperative recovery, the latter obviously limited to the sterile phases of the operation, offer great advantage. Among radical operations, in subtotal pericystectomy one or several areas of the pericyst ...

Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) is a result of infection by a microscopic tapeworm whose eggs are too tiny to see and stick to just about everything they come in contact with. Humans become infected via hand-to-mouth transfer: By eating food items contaminated by the stool of foxes or coyotes, handling dead animal carcasses without gloves or by petting dogs and cats that may have the eggs in their fur from either their own stool or from wild animal droppings. The tapeworm causes parasitic tumors of larvae to grow most commonly in the liver, and less commonly in the lungs, brain and other organs. Symptoms may not occur for many years after infection, but eventually include abdominal pain, weakness and weight loss-sufferers can confuse the symptoms with liver cancer and cirrhosis. Surgery is necessary to remove the masses, but getting rid of the whole thing is difficult so medication is used to keep the cysts from growing back. If left untreated, AE can be fatal ...
