Abstract:
This paper reports a case with alveolar echinococcosis metastatic to the brain. This case underwent 10-year antiechinococcosis treatment and operations of the liver, right kidney and brain. Following multiple operations and oral administration of albendazole, the case still had recurrence and distant metastasis of hepatic echinococcosis. It is suggested that early prevention, early diagnosis, early regular treatment and surgical radical treatment are critical to the treatment of alveolar echinococcosis.
