Abstract

SUMMARY
Hydatid disease, the parasitic infestation caused by the cestode, echinococcus granulosus
involves mainly the liver and the lungs though no organ is immune. Genito urinary
involvement has been found mainly in the kidneys and rarely in other structures such as,
bladder and epididymis. Isolated retrovesical location of the hydatid cyst is a very rare
condition whose manifestations appears after a long course of the disease and are due to
compression of bladder, causing the bladder out flow obstruction. Such rare case of bladder
out flow obstruction is presented.
