Hepatobronchial fistula due to transphrenic migration of hepatic echinococcosis: MR demonstration

Abdom Imaging. 2000 Sep-Oct;25(5):497-9. doi: 10.1007/s002610000080.

Abstract

We present an uncommon case of hepatic hydatidosis, complicated by transphrenic migration of the cyst, in which the use of magnetic resonance performed with ultrafast, breath-hold, heavily T2-weighted sequences (HASTE) demonstrated a bronchial fistula.
