Abstract
Disseminated hydatidosis is a rare disease and may involve any organ of the human body. In this case, an elderly female got infected by Echinococcus and presented with disseminated disease. A fistulous communication developed between one of the hydatid cysts present in the retrovesical region and the bladder, because of which the patient presented with hydatiduria.
