Abstract
The author’s report the case of an ischemic stroke complicating cardiac hydatid cyst in a young patient. This is a rare clinical situation of accidental discovery in the workup of an ischemic stroke. The systematic cardiovascular examination with a cardiac ultrasound allowed us to suspect this diagnosis given the context of hydatid endemic. The support consisted of surgical excision of hydatid cyst under cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was marked by the occurring of an array of respiratory distress at Day 5 post surgery.
