Giant hydatid cyst in the interventricular septum; (a) 2D transthoracic echocardiography, apical 4-chamber view and (b) cardiac magnetic resonance, short axis view - showing largest daughter cyst protruding in the left ventricle cavity while smaller daughter cysts protrudes in the right ventricle. c 2D transthoracic echocardiography, apical 4-chamber view and (d) cardiac magnetic resonance, short axis view – after 8 weeks of albendazole therapy, showing degradation of daughter cysts with the consequent reduction of the total hydatid cyst size. (HC = hydatid cyst, LA = left atrium, LV = left ventricle, RA = right atrium, RV = right ventricle)
