Primary intracranial multiple hydatid cysts in an adult

Cerebral hydatid disease is an uncommon presentation of echinococcosis representing 1-2% of all Echinococcus granulosus infestations. Most of the cases are seen in children. Primary multiple hydatid disease of the brain in adults is a rare entity. We report here a case of 35-year-old male with primary cerebral hydatid disease without extracranial lesions.
