Abstract
Hydatid cyst (HC) is a benign parasitic disease that predominantly affects the liver. It is relatively common in countries around the Mediterranean basin; however, it remains an exceptional cause of portal hypertension. We report a new case of a patient with a hepatic hydatid cyst revealed by a portal hypertension syndrome, highlighting its diagnostic and therapeutic particularities, along with a review of the literature.
