A two-year-old cat with episodic dyspnea was diagnosed with an intrapericardial cyst via two-dimensional echocardiography. The cyst directly compressed the right ventricle, resulting in cardiac tamponade. Centesis of the cyst was performed to reduce tamponade prior to surgery. At surgery, a large, fluid-filled cystic structure was found within the pericardium. The cystic structure was continuous with a pedicle of liver that passed through a small peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia. Surgical resolution was achieved by median sternotomy, midline pericardotomy, resection of the cyst, and diaphragmatic herniorrhaphy.

We report 3 patients with primary cardiac hydatid cysts, all of which were located on the wall of the right ventricle. In one case, an intramyocardial cyst protruded into the right ventricular chamber and in the other 2 cases, cysts protruded into the intrapericardial space. The diagnosis was confirmed by serologic tests, two-dimensional echocardiography, tomographic scanning and cardiac angiography. The patients underwent successful enucleation of the cysts with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. There was no morbidity or mortality and late results were satisfactory.
