Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in treatment of hepatic echinococcosis. Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with hepatic echinococcosis from 2008 to 2010 in the HIFU treatment center of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were analyzed retrospectively, the effect of HIFU treatment, postoperative liver area pain, fever, skin burn and other complications were evaluated, the prognosis and recurrence were followed-up. Results All the clinical manifestations and imaging manifes-tations of these 8 patients were improved after HIFU treatment. The liver functions of all the patients were injuried, which all were returned to normal within 5 days. Three patients suffered from fever and recovered within 6 days. Six patients appeared pain of liver area and relieved within 7 days. Operation area skin was basically normal, except 3 cases of mild swelling, no special complications happened.
