Özet

A 15-year-old boy presented to the emergency unit complaining of dyspnea, urticaria and vomiting developed after he fell down when he was playing football. Abdominal ultrasound showed a ruptured hydatid cyst in the right lobe of the liver which was of communicating type. Echinococcus granulosus serologic tests were positive. Medical treatment was started immediately. One week later, follow up US showed no changes in the findings. Intrabdominal fluid leakage was not detected. Patient's general condition showed improvement and he was discharged 12 days later. [Indian J Pediatr 2009; 76 (3) : 329-330] E-mail: muzafel@yahoo.com.tr
