Abstract
Cerebral hydatidosis accounts for approximately 1-3% of all cases of hydatid disease. In this report, 32-year-old female with epidural multilocular hydatid cysts in the midline posterior parietal region is reported. Most commonly, cerebral hydatid cysts are single lesions and locate in the watershed of the middle cerebral artery. However, cerebral epidural hydatid cysts seem to have a tendency occurring around in the highly vascularized venous sinus.
