Abstract

In this article we report the successful treatment of a lower descending thoracic aorta hydatidosis that mimicked a posterior saccular aneurysm; surgical excision was performed and the aorta was repaired with a prosthetic Dacron patch. At a 26-month follow-up, the patient is alive and conducting a normal life. Discussion about the management of this rare case also is given.
