dc.description.abstractIn this issue of The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, Bülbüller et al. (1) presented their experience on the results of surgical treatment of hepatic Echinococcal (hydatid) cysts. Echinococcal disease continues to be a major health problem in developing countries in sheep-raising areas, which makes a large portion of the world. Public education directed at the proper disposal of cyst containing viscera of slaughtered animals (preventing their consumption by carnivores) can play an important role in the eradication of the disease. However, public health measures do not seem to work in a lot of countries and second to the fact that large populations of humans are on the move, physicians everywhere nowadays are faced with patients with the disease having to decide on a management strategy. The liberal use of sonography, CT and MRI has also increased the number of asymptomatic patients who come to the attention of physicians. A review of recent medical literature discloses 3 alternative strategies for the management of cystic echinococcosis of the liver. The proposed modalities are; surgery, percutaneous drainage and chemotherapy. A follow-up without intervention strategy can also be implemented on asymptomatic patients based on the follow-up findings by Frider et al on a small group of patients (2)en_US
