  • Title: [Vertebral and spinal cord hydatidosis. Contribution of radiology and x-ray computed tomography. Apropos of 36 cases].
    Author: Tazi Z, Boujida N, Hamdouch N, Boukhrissi N.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1985 Mar; 66(3):183-8. PubMed ID: 4009526.
    Abstract:
    A study of 36 cases of vertebral and spinal cord hydatidosis seen between 1970 and 1984 allowed their division into three groups: those with purely intravertebral lesions, vertebral hydatid osteopathy, and hydatid pseudo-Pott's affections. The contribution of conventional radiology is reviewed at length and the importance of computed tomography emphasized for screening of extension and surveillance of "white cancer", a term applied by Deve to bone hydatidosis. Use of the scanner for CT imaging makes screening for residual or recurrent lesions a radiologic exploration.
