Abstract
Hydatid disease can result in cystic liver disease. If a conservative treatment fails, these cysts require resection. Involvement of the inferior vena cava requiring resection for hydatid disease is unusual. We present a case of hydatid disease with complete caval obstruction and resultant portal hypertension that required combined liver resection and inferior vena cava replacement.
