Gradual and complete delivery of a hydatid cyst of the brain through a single burr hole, a wrong happening!

Introduction: Cerebral hydatidosis is a rare larval infection of the central nervous system affecting mostly the children and young adults.

Case Report: The authors report a case of a 5-year-old girl harboring a large right frontoparietal hydatid cyst. The imaging studies were not diagnostic for 'cerebral hydatidosis' and were interpreted as 'brain abscess'.
