Primary Large Hydatid Cyst of The Neck

Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis of childhood. There is varying incidence among ethnic groups with higher rates among Asians. Hydatid cyst in the head and neck is very rare. We report the exceptional case of a 9-year-old female child presenting with a hydatid cyst in the posterior cervical region. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst is made mainly with the help of imaging methods and review of the patient's history. Serologic tests can also be useful. The treatment is surgical. Postoperative Albendazole therapy is suggested especially when there is a high preoperative contamination risk.
