Abstract:

Introduction: Embolism of the femoral artery by an echinococcus cyst is extremely rare and is due to rup-ture of an intracardiac hydatid cyst. Case Presentation: We report the case of 14 years old boy, admitted to our clinic with the diagnosis of arte-rial occlusion of the right lower extremity. Preopera-tive angiography revealed an ileofemoral embolic oc-clusion. During the surgical operation, multiple hy-datid cyst components causing femoral artery occlu-sion were found and excised. Conclusion: This case emphasizes that, in endemic countries, primary vascular echinococcosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of arterial oc-clusions.
