A child (8 years old) with a gigantic mass of intracranial hydatid cysts (95×90×75 mm) is presented. The first manifestation was difficulty in walking, which was followed by symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. A craniotomy was performed, and more than 25 hydatid cysts were removed. The literature is reviewed and the incidence of gigantic mass of cerebral hydatid cyst is compared in the published reports.
