  • Title: [Spinal cord compression due to the vertebral hydatid cyst].
    Author: Gelabert-González M.
    Journal: Rev Neurol; ; 30(7):654-5. PubMed ID: 10859746.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Osteomuscular hydatidosis is an uncommon disease in which the spine is involved in 50% of the cases. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult in our setting because of its low incidence and the absence of specific radiological criteria. CLINICAL CASE: We present the case of a 72 year-old woman who consulted for slowly progressive paraparesia and was diagnosed, using CT and MR, as having a vertebral lesion of T3. The patient was operated on and many vesicular lesions of hydatidosis were removed surgically. CONCLUSION: We review the different forms of presentation of spinal hydatid cysts and the possible therapeutic options.
