Transthoracic two–dimensional echocardiograpyshowed a cyst, measuring 3.7x3.5 cm, localized inthe posteroapical region of the left ventricle (Fig. 1a).
Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the cardiaccyst and showed another cyst in the liver (Fig. 1b).
Transesophageal echocardiography showed an ovoidcavitated mass with internal areas of calcification andconfirmed the absence of additional cysts in the car-diac chambers. Selective coronary angiographyrevealed no significant lesions. The patient under-went surgery through median sternotomy. Standardcardiopulmonary bypass techniques were used withmoderate hypothermia and cardioplegic arrest. Thecyst was reached via a left ventriculotomy andremoved (Fig. 2). Hypertonic saline (10% NaCl) wasused as a scolicidal agent. Pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of echinococcosis. Thepatient was discharged on the sixth postoperative dayand treated with albendazole (800 mg/day for 4weeks). At three-month follow-up, the patient wasasymptomatic, with improved functional capacity.
Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographyshowed no signs of cystic formation.
Cardiac hydatid disease is very rare, occuring inapproximately 0.2% to 2% of patients with hydatiddisease.[4] Cardiac hydatid cysts develop in manyparts of the heart such as the left ventricle (55-71%),right ventricle (13-18%), interventricular septum (5- Figure 1.

Several hypotheses have been proposed for thepredilection for left ventricular location, includingdominance of the left coronary artery, better condi-tions of the left ventricular myocardial mass for par-asitic development, and different pressure regi-mens.[7] Clinical manifestations of cardiac cysts are broad, ranging from asymptomatic patients to sudden death.
Symptoms depend on the location, size, and integrityof the cyst. Embolization, anaphylactic shock, andcardiac tamponade are the most serious and oftenlethal complications.[8] Cysts have the potential forintracardiac or intrapericardial ruptures. Although Figure 2.

Trapped in a falling storm of nothingness. I can't seem to find my way up and out. No one is looking for me, no one is seeing me. I am alone. I am forgotten. Gasping for air, my eyes open up and I realize it was just the same dream. The same dream that I have been having for months now. It interrupts my sleep, consumes my life, has ruined everything I have built up around me. Rolling over I hear a
