Hydatid cysts, caused by the parasite, predominantly affect the liver and lungs, but can also impact other organs such as the kidneys, brain, and muscles. Infection occurs when individuals ingest eggs from contaminated food or water, leading to cyst formation primarily in the liver. While hydatid cysts are commonly found in various endemic regions, muscular involvement is rare, particularly in the psoas muscle.

Article Synopsis
- * Key measurements from MRI, like the pubococcygeal line (PCL), H line, and M line, help evaluate the size and function of the pelvic floor and identify abnormalities such as rectocele or rectal prolapse.
- * Dynamic pelvic MRI is particularly valuable for patients with complex conditions or incongruent symptoms, allowing surgeons to make informed treatment decisions and effectively communicate with patients.

Department of Surgery, TriHealth, Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
Background: A splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare pathology that occurs mainly secondary to pancreatitis, abdominal trauma, peptic ulcers, pancreatic and gastric cancers, and infections. It is best diagnosed using computed tomography angiography and typically treated using endovascular embolization and, in some cases, open or laparoscopic surgery. In this report, we present a case of a ruptured mycotic splenic artery pseudoaneurysm containing Histoplasma capsulatum, which to our knowledge is the first case to report a mycotic splenic artery pseudoaneurysm of this nature.
