A cranial native computed tomography scan and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast examinations revealed a giant intracranial cystic lesion, extending into the left frontal lobe, which was compressing the optic chiasm and eroding the internal plate of the left frontal bone. Surgical craniotomy was performed for evacuation and decompression, but during the craniotomy the cyst ruptured. After assessing the degree of erosion of the internal bone plate, we concluded that the primary origin of the cyst was intraosseous. With the dura mater being intact, abundant lavage with H2O2 was applied and the bone flap was replaced after rigorous bone scraping. Imaging control at six and twelve months identified no recurrence of the cyst. In the literature, hydatid cysts located in the skull bone are very rare and most of them rupture intraoperatively. Given their extremely low incidence in developed countries, any neurosurgeons\u2019 experience with such pathology is limited and in some cases surgery cannot be delayed. In the case of intracerebral hydatid cysts, a neurosurgeon usually has only one shot at surgery, so simple and quick-to-access therapeutic guidelines must be developed in order to inform the choice of surgical technique. We conclude that the most successful surgical approach could be double concentric craniotomy. This surgical technique is used in intracerebral tumors, which also have an important bone invasion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci11121604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,2]],"date-time":"2021-12-02T21:19:08Z","timestamp":1638479948000},"page":"1604","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Intraoperative Rupture of an Intracranial, Extradural Hydatid Cyst: Case Report and Treatment Options"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9471-4300","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cosmin-Nicodim","family":"Cindea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550024 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4997-2690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vicentiu","family":"Saceleanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550024 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adriana","family":"Saceleanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550024 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2021, March 24).
