Figure 1
Parasternal long axis view on echocardiography showed multiseptated anechoic lesion adjacent to left ventricle causing luminal compromise suggestive of hydatid cyst likely within the interventricular septum and left ventricular wall.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Pre-contrast T1 and T2 weighted black blood images on cardiac MRI showed large multivesicular and septated, cystic (T2 hyperintense) lesion with water content (low signal on T1; high signal on T2) in the interventricular septum extending into anterior wall (giving wheel like appearance) suggesting intramyocardial hydatid cyst.
