The computed tomographic (CT) appearance and the pain radiographic and myelographic findings of vertebral hydatid disease (caused by Echinococcus granulosus) in two patients are presented. CT proved to be more useful in the initial assessment and measurement of progress of this disease than conventional radiography and myelography.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
