Hydatid cysts rarely involve cardiac cavities and are mostly seen in the right chambers of the heart. The location of hydatid cysts in the left chambers of the heart is very harmful in terms of cerebrovascular risk. Herein, we report a case of a left atrial hydatid cyst which coexisted with a hydatid cyst in the liver. The patient was successfully operated on and discharged from the hospital on the fifth day after admission.
