Summary

Central nervous system (CNS) hydatid cysts is a rare presentation of hydatid cyst, although may be the cause of intracranial space-occupying lesions in 4% in endemic countries. It affects mostly children. The diagnosis of CNS hydatid is still problematic in spite of the advancements in imaging techniques (CT or MRI). Extirpation of the intact cyst is the treatment of choice, resulting in most cases to a complete recovery.
