Hydatid cyst is caused by the infestation of the larvae of taenia echinococcus. They are mostly found in liver or lungs [1]. Brain infestation occurs in 1-2% cases of echinococcus infection. Isolated hydatid cyst in brain is rare presentation [2, 3]. Cysts may drain into ventricles or rupture completely, causing spillage of contents into the subarachnoid space, leading to fatal anaphylactic shock, meningitis or local recurrence .we are presenting a case of left temporal lobe isolated hydatid cyst in 65 year old lady with exclusive presentation and operated in time showed wonderful outcome.
