Acute Abdominal Aortic Embolism Caused by Primary Cardiac Echinococcus Cyst

A Case Report

Ibrahim H. Tacyildiz, MD

Dicle University School of Medicine, Department of General Surgery, Diyarbakir, Turkey

A 55-year-old woman who had been operated on for liver hytatid disease presented with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and ischemia of both lower extremities. On laparotomy, all small and large bowel segments except the proximal 100 cm of the small intestine were found to be necrotic and were resected. Arteriotomies of both iliac arteries showed hytatid daughter cysts obstructing the blood flow. Circulation was restored, but the patient died from ventricular fibrillation.
