Abstract (2. Language):
A 35-year-old man was admitted to our hospital’s emergency department with chest pain, lightheadedness and long
lasting palpitation. Twelve lead electrocardiography revealed wide QRS tachycardia suggesting sustained ventricular
tachycardia at the rate of 220 beats per minute. Transthorasic echocardiography revealed a cystic mass with a size of
5x6 cm located intramyocardially in the left ventricular lateral wall. T2 weighted images of cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging showed the mass of 6x7x5 cm in size, compatible with hydatid cyst in the left ventricular lateral
wall. Specific blood tests for hydatid cyst were positive. Combination of antihelminthic chemotherapy to be followed
by surgical excision of the cyst was planned but, the patient refused to undergo a cardiac surgery. Hence, the patient
was discharged with albendazole and amiadarone treatment.

Abstract (Original Language):
35 yaşındaki erkek hasta, göğüs ağrısı, baş dönmesi ve uzun süren çarpıntı ile acil servise başvurdu. 12 kanallı
elektrokardiyografide ventriküler taşikardiyi düşündüren 220/dk. hızında geniş QRS’li taşikardi saptandı. Transtorasik
ekokardiyografide sol ventrikül lateral duvarı intra myokardiyal yerleşimli 5x6 cm’lik kistik kitle izlendi.Kardiyak
magnetik rezonans, T2 ağırlıklı görüntülerde sol vetrikül lateral duvarda 6x7x5 cm büyüklüğündeki kitlenin kist
hidatid ile uyumlu olduğunu gösterdi. Kist hidatid için yapılan kan testleri pozitif saptanan hastaya antihelmintik
tedaviye takiben kistin cerrahi olarak çıkarılması planlandı ancak hasta kardiyak cerrahiyi kabul etmedi, bu nedenle
hasta albendazol ve amiadaron tedavisi ile taburcu edildi.
