Acute Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction Due To Hydatid Cyst

Hydatid disease which is caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is endemic in the husbandry regions. Primary localization of the disease is liver; however, echinococcosis may infect every organ and tissue of the human body. Aim of this report is to emphasize that primary peritoneal hydatidosis may clinically be presented with an acute mechanical intestinal obstruction in endemic regions.
