Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Liver is the most commonly affected by cystic echinococcosis and surgical treatment is usually curative. Although recurrence is not uncommon but obstructive jaundice secondary to persistent large residual ectocyst with compression at porta hepatis is an unusual complication not yet reported in literature.
Case Report: A 30-year-old female complained of persistent abdominal pain for eight months following surgical treatment of the liver hydatid cyst and increasing jaundice for one month. Imaging revealed a cyst in the same area adjacent to left lobe of liver. Abdominal exploration revealed hydatid ectocyst under tension, compressing the porta hepatis, common bile duct and neck of the gallbladder. Subtotal excision was performed. Postoperative period was uneventful and jaundice resolved in two weeks' time. Conclusion: Follow-up longer than six months is advisable after surgical treatment of liver hydatid cyst for early detection of complications in the residual ectocyst. Fine-needle aspiration under image guidance appears as a reasonable option in the recurrent liver cyst following primary surgical treatment before embarking on re-laparotomy. | |
