Cerebral hydatid disease is very rare, representing only 2% of all hydatid locations in the body even in the countries where the disease is endemic. Intracranial hydatid cysts are more common in children and occur more frequently in the supratentorial space. The aim of this paper is to describe the characteristic features of computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]. We report a case of one pediatric patient of 10 years operated for intracranial hydatid cyst in the neurosurgical department with no history of note, who was admitted to hospital with intracranial hypertension syndrome and right hemiparesis. Computed tomography showed a cystic lesion in the left frontal-parietal lobule.[1],[2].
