Introduction And Importance: Concomitant rupture into the gallbladder and biliary tract is a very rare complication of liver hydatid cyst.
Presentation Of Case: We present the case of a young woman with rupture of liver hydatid cyst into gallbladder and right hepatic duct which was presented with abdominal pain and jaundice.
Clinical Discussion: While fistulization to the gallbladder is a rare complication of liver hydatid cyst, concomitant rupture of liver hydatid cyst into the gallbladder and biliary tract is very rare. The principle treatment of this condition is surgery with adjuvant anthelmintic therapy.
Conclusion: Rupture into gallbladder and biliary tract is a rare complication of liver hydatid cyst, where abdominal pain is the most common symptom and surgery is the mainstay of treatment.
