Anaphylactic shock during pulmonary hydatid cyst surgery in children : a case report.

Pulmonary hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease causing an endemic and health burden in many regions. It is caused by a tapeworm. Lung cysts are more common than liver cysts in children. Anaphylactic shock during surgery by cyst rupture is rare but it can be potentially life-threatening. Diagnosis can be challenging but the immediate treatment is necessary in case of respiratory distress, potential collapse and urticaria. We report a case of anaphylactic shock secondary to pulmonary hydatid cyst with hemodynamic instability in a 10-year-old child during surgery and its management. We describ steps to establish early diagnosis and well-coded treatment. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken to avoid anaphylaxis reactions risk.
