Introduction  \nEchinococcosis primarily encompasses 2 severe zoonotic taeniases, namely cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensulato (s.l.) and E. multilocularis, respectively.[1] A variety of herbivorous and omnivorous animals serve as intermediate hosts for Echinococcus larvae. These animals become infected upon ingesting parasite eggs from contaminated food or water sources, after which the parasites develop into larvae within their internal organs. Carnivores act as the definitive hosts, harboring mature tapeworms in their intestines; infection in these carnivores occurs through the consumption of visceral organs from intermediate hosts that carry the parasites. [2]  \nThis article provides a detailed description of a rare case of disseminated echinococcosis affecting the brain, liver, and lungs. While multi-organ involvement in echinococcosis is  \ndocumented, the simultaneous presentation of clinically significant cysts in the brain, liver, and lungs within a single patient is exceedingly rare. [3] Most literature reports on disseminated disease often describe sequential involvement or primary involvement of the liver and lungs, with secondary spread to other sites. Cases with synchronous triple-organ (cerebral, hepatic, and pulmonary) lesions at initial diagnosis are sparsely reported and pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case report aims to detail the unique clinical presentation, the strategic approach to managing the life-threatening cerebral lesion while coordinating care for the hepatic and pulmonary foci, and the lessons learned regarding potential hematogenous dissemination. By comparing our experience with the limited existing literature, this case adds valuable insight into the management of this complex and rare form of disseminatedechinococcosis.  \nBL and ZH contributed to this article equally.  \nWritten informed consent was obtained from the individual(s) for the publication of any potentially identifiable images or data included in this article.  \nThe authors have no funding and con","cbCail5DHawIXSIl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail5DHawIXSIl","pdf",506754,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Case information","[{\"question\":\"What organisms and disease types cause echinococcosis discussed in the case?\",\"answer\":\"The article describes cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), associated with Echinococcus species, with human infection occurring after ingestion of parasite eggs.\"},{\"question\":\"What symptoms led to hospital presentation in the reported patient?\",\"answer\":\"A 22-year-old Tibetan man presented with unprovoked headache and epileptic seizures, with occasional loss of consciousness and no nausea or vomiting mentioned in the abstract.\"},{\"question\":\"What treatment was performed for the cerebral lesion, and what were the results?\",\"answer\":\"Microsurgical excision of the hydatid cyst was performed to relieve intracranial pressure.
