Abstract

Primary retroperitoneal hydatid disease (HD) is extremely rare. The conventional treatment of primary retroperitoneal HD is surgery. There is no report in literature for percutaneous treatment of primary retroperitoneal HD. We report on a patient with primary retroperitoneal HD, who was treated successfully with percutaneous treatment using the PAIR ( percutaneous puncture-aspiration-injection reaspiration) method with drainage technique. After the procedure, the patient was asymptomatic at 5 months of follow-up. In conclusion, percutaneous treatment can be used as an alternative to surgery for the treatment of primary retroperitoneal HD. Howewer, further studies are needed.
