Özet
Nonthrombotic pulmonary embolisms are rare unlike pulmonary thromboembolisms. Hydatid cyst related complications such as anaphylactic shock, infection, and embolism might cause sudden deaths. Hydatid pulmonary embolism is a rare entity usually caused by rupture of a cardiac or a hepatic hydatid cyst. On the other hand, venous and arterial embolisms due to cyst hydatid are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of systemic hydatid embolism secondary to rupture of a hydatid cyst.
