✦ Synopsis

A 26 year old woman with ascites was admitted for further investigations. A diagnosis of hydatid cyst disease was suggested on the basis of a combination of abdominal ultrasonography, computerised tomography and latex agglutination tests. This diagnosis was confirmed following surgical intervention. Hydatid cyst disease is a rare cause of ascites and we review the etiology and clinical features of this condition.
