Abstract
Cystic echinococcosis (hydatid disease) arising from infestation with a larval or adult form of the Echinococcus
granulosus tapeworm is endemic in certain states of India, but affecting interventricular septum (IVS) solitarily
is a scarce phenomenon. We present a rare case of transesophageal echocardiography guided management
of IVS hydatid cyst even during cardiopulmonary bypass, which presented with a rather unusual complaint
of repeated syncope.
