Özet
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection, which generally occurs in the liver and lung. Localization of hydatid cyst in the thoracic aorta and false aneurysm formation are extremely rare in the endemic countries. We report a rare case of hydatid cyst invading the wall of thoracic aorta resulting in a false aneurysm, which was clearly demonstrated by contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT).
