This report focuses on the rare presentation of cardiac hydatid disease causing significant myocardial involvement and complications such as cardiac tamponade.
A 16-year-old female was evaluated for acute chest pain and dyspnea.
Multimodality imaging and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were performed to assess cardiac involvement.
Surgical excision of the hydatid cyst was conducted post-identification during the operation.
A large intact pericardial hydatid cyst was found, leading to active pericarditis and cardiac tamponade.
Surgical removal resulted in complete resolution of symptoms.
Genetic testing ruled out primary cardiomyopathies, linking symptoms to the hydatid cyst.
