Clinical Image

A 35 Year female presented to us with the diagnosis of Abdominal Hydatidosis. However, on surgical exploration the numbers of the cysts we encountered were far more than expected and were present in almost all quadrants of abdomen. Some of the cysts were even delivered from the retroperitoneum. Seeing the huge load of these hydatid cysts a meticulous, gentle and patient dissection was carried out with an effort to deliver all the cysts intact in which we succeeded (Figure 1). At the end of the procedure we all felt so good to deliver the whole specimen intact and in order to prevent future recurrence we washed the abdominal cavity with 1% cetrimide solution which is our protocol but suddenly the patient went into severe anaphylaxis and all anti anaphylactic measures were tried to save her and patient had to be declared dead even after performing a meticulous and an excellent surgery.
