Introduction
Hydatid cyst is caused by a zoonotic infection with the larva stage
(metastasis) of Echinococcus granulosus 1 .
This disease is developed in humans through Canidae, including dogs and
foxes, and is more common in some parts of the world, such as in the
North Khorasan Province, Iran, where several cases have been reported
can be health problem 2. These larvae form cysts in
the affected organs, which have an infinite membrane that slowly
penetrates around and can cause side effects 3.
Liver involvement is often reported to be 50% to 70% of cases during
this disease 1. In most cases, cysto-biliary
involvement can lead to jaundice and rupture of the abdominal cavity4, while other organs, such as the lungs, kidneys, and
spleen, are less frequently affected 1. This study
aimed to report a rare complication of hydatid cyst, in which the
patient developed hepatic vein and port thrombosis and acute liver
failure despite medical treatment, of which less than ten cases have
been reported to date.
