AI Article Synopsis
- Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare condition that can lead to serious complications, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial.
- A case involving a cyst in the interventricular septum caused chest pain (angina) and ischemic changes noticeable on an ECG.
- The diagnosis was confirmed through two-dimensional echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, and the cyst was successfully treated with surgery.
Article Abstract
Cardiac echinococcosis has not been reported frequently. Because of the risk of potentially lethal complications, early diagnosis and definitive treatment are very important. We report a case of a cardiac echinococcal cyst in the interventricular septum. The cyst that caused angina and showed ischemic changes in electrocardiogram was diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging and was treated surgically.
