Sumario:This paper presents the case of an 18-year-old woman in the 31st week of pregnancy complaining for 8 months a several episodes of vomiting and headache the neurological examination revealed muscle power was 3/5 on left side. The cerebral MRI revealed an intracranial hydatid cyst. The cyst was surgically removed under general anesthesia and put it on albendazole, the diagnosis has been confirmed by the histopathological examination. The patient gave a healthy baby 1 month later without any incident. No primary focus was found in the lungs, liver, or other organs. Primary cerebral hydatid cyst during pregnancy can be successfully treated by surgical and medical intervention, vomiting in a pregnant woman should be investigated to rule out other differential diagnosis.
