RESULTS: The study included 20 men and 14 women with an average age of 30.44 ± 18.4 years. Radiological findings showed a hydropneumothorax in 21 cases, hydrothorax in 10, pachypleuritis in 29, and a floating membrane in 13 cases. In all cases, pleuropulmonary decortication was associated with pericystectomy in 20 cases and parenchymal resection in 3 cases. A hydatid membrane bathing in the pleural cavity was found in 32 cases. The postoperative course was uneventful in 28 cases.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term follow-up should be established to detect possible recurrences or pleural dissemination, which appear to be prevented by long-term use of anthelmintic agents.
结果:该研究包括20名男性和14名女性,平均年龄为30.44±18.4岁。放射学检查显示21例液气胸,胸水10例,厚皮胸膜炎29例,浮膜13例。在所有情况下,胸膜肺剥脱术合并围手术20例,实质切除3例。32例发现胸膜内有包虫膜。28例术后进展顺利。
结论:应建立长期随访以检测可能的复发或胸膜播散,似乎可以通过长期使用驱虫药来预防。
