JOURNAL ARTICLE

"Falling snowflakes," an ultrasound sign of hydatid sand

G. Saint Martin and J. C. Chiesa

It has been claimed that the distinction between a simple cyst and a simple noncomplicated hydatid cyst cannot be made by ultrasound examination. It is very important to make this distinction before attempting a diagnostic or therapeutic puncture of a cyst, at least in geographic areas where echinococcosis is endemic. The authors report an ultrasound sign that makes this differential diagnosis possible.
