文摘

Hydatid disease is a zoonotic parasitic disease. The liver is the most commonly affected organ, and hepatic hydatid disease complications are not uncommon. Hydatid cyst superinfection, intrabiliary rupture, and direct rupture into the thoracic or abdominal cavities are the frequently encountered complications. Other exceedingly rare complications include rupture of the cyst into hollow viscera, abdominal wall invasion, and hepatic vasculature-related complications such as portal vein thrombosis and Budd-Chiari syndrome. These complications have variable clinical presentations and imaging findings and require different medical and surgical managements. We aim to provide a spectrum of imaging findings of different common and uncommon complications of hepatic hydatid disease with emphasis on their clinical implications.
