Abstract
Although cardiac involvement with hydatid cyst is quite rare as a major com plication, constrictive pericarditis is even less common. A 55-year-old man is presented in whom a hydatid cyst located in the right cardiophrenic ang le anterior to the right ventricle ruptured into the pericardial sac, resul ting in constrictive pericarditis.
