Abstract :
Hydatid cyst is a rare phenomenon that occurs in about 1/20000- 1/30000 of pregnancies (1). It appears at the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis or E. granulosus. There is, however, no standard treatment during pregnancy. Hydatid cyst disease is life-threatening for the mother /fetus (1). It is diagnosed during pregnancy by serological testing and ultrasonography. Clinical manifestations of the disease depend on the size and location of cysts. Treatment modalities are surgery and drug therapy.
