Obstructive jaundice occurs when hydatid sand, daughter cysts, or fragmented membranes empty into the biliary tree.doi:10.7863/jum.2008.27.2.299Sabat, Shyamsunder B.Barhate, Kishor P.Deshmukh, Manoj P.Journal of Ultrasound in MedicineSabat SB, Barhate KP, Deshmukh MP. Cholecysto-hydatid cyst ...
Complete collapse of the laminated membrane results in an ultrasound 'water lily sign'. Daughter cysts are initially solid then become cystic. A fluid level can be due to hydatid sand but layering in a poorly defined cyst indicates an infected or complicated cyst. This paper does not deal ...
Ultrasound and abdominopelvic CT scan allow a presumptive diagnosis showing cystic calcifications, daughter cysts or intra-cystic septa, hydatid sand, which are specific to echinococcal infestation [9,15], abdominal CT also helps in providing information regarding the cyst localization, neighborhood, ...
Diagnosis is challenging due to cysts mimicking malignancies, relying on clinical, serological, and imaging techniques such as ultrasound showing distinct features like "hydatid sand" and the "water lily sign." Treatment includes surgical resection and cysticidal agents, with albendazole effective in ...
UltrasoundCholangiographySonographic and cholangiographic appearances of confirmed intrabiliary rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst were studied in 15 cases. Sonographic findings included liver cyst in all cases; nonshadowing echogenic structures in the dilated biliary tree representing hydatid material, such ...

ultrasoundAccording to the ultrasonic exam result of liver cyst hydatid disease, we discussed emphatically differential diagnosis of liver cyst hydatid. The typical characteristics of its ultrasonic images are: I. Cyst wall showing double layer or ''double walls sign''; II. Hydatid sand depositing ...
All had undergone plain radiography abdomen (AP view) and ultrasound study. Six patients had undergone computerised tomography (CT). On plain radiography, curvilinear calcification was the only important positive finding (3 cases). Ultrasonographic findings were - single thick walled cyst (2 cases),...
