Hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis
of any cystic mass in endemic areas. The symptoms due to
bulk effect, usually occurring over a certain period of time, depend
on the site and size of the cyst. We report an unusual presentation
of retroperitoneal hydatid cyst with rapidly developing
uremia and acute intestinal obstruction.
