Abstract

Abstract: Cystic hydatidosis is a serious public health problem in Iran. Although cysts can develop in almost all organs and the brain cysts are very rare. Here, we present 3 confirmed cases of brain hydatidosis and the patients who underwent successful surgery. Pathological examinations demonstrated the presence of cystic hydatidosis. Abstract : Hydatidosis should be considered a differential diagnosis of any cyst in the brain particularly in endemic regions including Iran.
