Abstract

Echinococcosis is an infection caused in human by complex parasites that causes cystic hydatid disease.

Slowly enlarging cysts generally remain asymptomatic until their size has expanded. Here we present a case of sudden death following cyst emboli to the large veins and right heart of a young adult female.
