We report a case of an abdominal aortic embolism due to rupture of a cardiac hydatid cyst. This
report emphasizes the diagnostic, preventative, and treatment options for hydatid cyst embolism
of abdominal aorta. Echocardiography should be routinely performed in all patients with hydatid
disease for possible involvement of the heart. This enables early diagnosis and treatment of
cardiac echinococcus before life-threatening complications occur.
