Abstract

A very rare case of a pontine hydatid cyst is reported. It was diagnosed preoperatively on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging findings. The patient was operated on in the sitting position. Total excision of the cyst using the Dowling technique and gravity effect was performed through the floor of the fourth ventricle. The patient was discharged without extra neurological sequel. The significance of an accurate preoperative diagnosis, surgical approaches and technique in the management of this pathology is discussed.
