Abstract: Hydatid pulmonary embolism is rare but serious. It most often results from the rupture of a cyst in the right heart chambers and more rarely from the rupture of a hepatic cyst in the venous return circulation, The aim of this article is to shed light on this form of pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening because of the risk of acute fatal complications such as anaphylactic shock and vascular rupture, as well as chronic progression to respiratory failure and right heart failure..
Keywords: Hydatid cyst, rupture, pulmonary embolism
