Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Hydatid cyst of the heart provides very rarely because of contractions of the heart natural resistance to the presence of viable cysts. Patients with cardiac hydatid cyst may remain asymptomatic for many years or have minor nonspecific complaints, but it is associated with an increased risk of lethal complications if left undiagnosed and untreated. Post rupture cardiac hydatid there is disseminated echinococcosis in the body. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a healthy 20-year old male, while he was working as a farmer who presented with sudden onset acute right lower limb ischemia caused by ruptured of primary hydatid cyst of the heart which managed as a surgical emergency. DISCUSSION: Patients with a cardiac hydatid cyst usually have symptoms after its rupture. Hydatid cyst rupture into left-sided chambers may cause systemic emboli, like in our case which presented with emboli of right common iliac artery and later on the patient had cerebral hydatid. Cardiac hydatid cyst can have two extremes, either remain asymptomatic over long periods or be discovered after serious and even fatal complications. CONCLUSION: Acute limb ischemia should be considered as an extremely a rare cause of rupture cardiac hydatid in an endemic area of echinococcosis also, this case confirms the need for the evaluation of the patient well after ruptured cardiac hydatid for other sites of emboli like brain hydrated as in our patient.
