“…The liver and lungs trap oncospheres that migrate from the intestine to the portal circulation. Spinal hydatid cysts account for 1% of all cases of hydatid disease [1,2]. The disease usually spreads over the spine by direct extension from pulmonary, abdominal, or pelvic infestation, and most commonly affects the dorsal region of the spine.…”

“…While hydatid cysts tend to develop in the liver or lungs, they may be found in any organ of the body. Musculoskeletal system hydatid disease accounts for 0.5-2.0% of all cases, and spinal hydatid cyst accounts for 50% of these cases [1][2][3].…”

Spinal hydatid cyst is a serious and unusual infectious disease. There is little information on infections caused by cestodes in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although infrequent, infections by cestodes constitute a cause of disease in HIV-infected patients, especially in endemic areas. This report presents, for the first time in the literature, primary spinal cyst hydatid in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

“…Most human cases occur in areas where dogs and livestock are raised together (2). It affects whole organs or tissues in the human body, especially the liver (65-75% of cases) and lungs (25-30% of cases) (1)(2)(3)(4). Primary hydatid cyst of the diaphragm is estimated to comprise Ͻ 1% of cases (5).…”

Introduction: Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease, affecting humans and other mammals worldwide. It is caused by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus, which is most frequently encountered in the liver and lungs. Although involvement of the central nervous system and spine is rare, it can lead to severe neurological deficits due to direct compression. Case Presentation: We report a case of intradural extramedullary hydatid cyst in the lumbar region with a sudden onset, causing progressive paraplegia and areflexia over the past 20 days. After surgical removal, the cyst was sent for histopathological examination. The results showed inner laminated membranes and an outer fibrous layer, surrounded by foreign-body giant cells. The primary objective during surgery was to avoid perforation of the cyst, thereby reducing the risk of systemic dissemination and local seeding of the parasite. During the postoperative period, there was a steady improvement in the neurological deficit, and the patient was discharged with anthelmintics to prevent any distant dissemination. Conclusions:An accurate and precise diagnosis is necessary when dealing with cystic pathologies.
