Özet
We present a 26-year-old patient who did farming related work had an asymptomatic intracranial hydatid cyst. A calcified intracranial cystic mass was found on radiological investigations and the patient underwent surgery. The mass was totally excised. The histopathology result reported a hydatid cyst. There were no postoperative complications. Calcification is quite rare in cerebral hydatid cyst. The computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide information that is especially useful for preoperative diagnosis. Observing membrane detachment and daughter cysts during these investigations is pathognomonic. The presence of calcification in the cyst wall and intracystic membranes indicated hydatid cyst.
