New Multimodality Museum Image! “Cardiac MRI of a Left Ventricular Intramyocardial Suspected Hydatid Cyst” by Neda Nilforoushan, MD; Hassan Saleem, MD; Muhammad Umair, MD

A 19-year-old man with chest pain underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which identified a multilobulated cyst with internal septations located in the lateral left ventricular myocardium, consistent with a hydatid cyst. High-resolution cine and late gadolinium enhancement imaging demonstrated its structure and myocardial involvement. This case shows the capability of cardiac MRI in diagnosing rare cardiopericardial hydatid disease. See videos and images: http://doi.org/10.14797/mdcvj.1723
