Abstract:

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease that is known as the parasite cancer. Lesions of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis tend to grow along the intrahepatic blood vessels, and large lesions may directly invade or compress adjacent portal veins, hepatic vein, trunk, and the post-hepatic segment of the inferior vena cavar esulting in that the majority of patients with end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis are complicated with cardiac cirrhosis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, or portal hypertension at varying degrees. This not only increases the difficulty in diagnosis and treatment for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, but also raises the cost of disease treatment. Currently, the pathogenesis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis induced portal hypertension, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and cardiac cirrhosis is not fully understood, and there are still controversies regarding diagnosis and treatment of these complications. This article provides a brief overview of the clinical symptoms induced by hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, including cardiac cirrhosis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and portal hypertension.
