(vi) Completely remove of the cyst including the innermost germinative layer, which can produce
scolices, with en-bloc excision whenever possible; sometimes, to avoid recurrence, it is necessary to resect the affected surrounding tissues completely.
The life cycle is completed when the rodent is eaten by a canid (dog, fox or wolf ) and the
scolices mature into adult tapeworms, which live in the intestine and lay eggs.
In addition, the histomorphological examination of liver sections showed a fresh haemorrhage in areas near the cystic wall and
scolices in the hepatic lumina (Figure 2), and the histomorphological examination of pulmonary sections showed
scolices observed in pulmonary vessel lumina, thus a non-thrombosis hydatid embolism was diagnosed (Figure 3).
In vitro effectiveness of different chemical agents on
scolices of hydatid cyst.
Some
scolices showed flame cells and were without hooklets.
Could thymol have effectiveness on
scolices and germinal layer of hydatid cysts?
The number of
scolices increases within the daughter cysts, causing the cyst to enlarge.
Potato peels, carrot
scolices, parsley crosses afloat in tin bowls.
Kale, "In vitro effectiveness of different chemical agents on
scolices of hydatid cyst," Journal of Investigative Surgery, vol.
Most cysts contain clear fluid, usually associated with small daughter cysts and a granular deposit of
scolices [10].
Germinal layer,
scolices and hooklets were variably present (Table 1) (Fig.
The cyst of E.Granulosus is always unilocular having
scolices.6,7 Sterile multilocular cysts or alveolar Hydatid disease is caused by E.Multilocularis.6-9 Multilocular cysts are also produced by species like E.Vogeli and E.Oligarthus but unlike E.Multilocularis they have
scolices and cause multicystic lesions.10
