Radiographic and computed tomographic findings in hydatid disease of bone

Abstract: Twenty-six patients with hydatid disease of bone were evaluated by means of radiography and conventional tomography. Fourteen patients underwent high resolution computed tomography (CT). In two patients with vertebral disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination was also performed. Seventeen patients underwent surgery with histological examination in all. Based on the surgical data and gross examination of the specimen, the radiographic and CT findings have been reviewed to identify the most character… Show more

“…CT scan will show non enhancing cystic lesions. A calcified rim will only surround soft tissue cysts, not cysts in the bone [8,9] . It is suggested that calcification varies according to the disease course and duration since calcification is caused by dystrophic changes of dead cysts [3] .…”

“…En la radiografía simple se observan lesiones líticas uni o multivesiculares de carácter expansivo, sin limites precisos que pueden romper la cortical y asociarse con un aumento de la densidad de las partes blandas adyacentes y calcificaciones al nivel de la periquística. Estos hallazgos son similares a los de la tuberculosis, abscesos, micosis y neoplasias 3,11,12 . La TC y sobre todo la RMN, hoy en día considerada la prueba de elección, permiten valorar mejor las estructuras óseas afectadas y sus relaciones anatómicas 5,6,13 .…”

“…La TC y sobre todo la RMN, hoy en día considerada la prueba de elección, permiten valorar mejor las estructuras óseas afectadas y sus relaciones anatómicas 5,6,13 . Los hallazgos en la TC son similares a los de la radiografía simple y es un hallazgo típico en la RMN la lesión quística tabicada, hipointensa en T1 e hiperintensa en T2, pudiendo variar el grado de intensidad y la homogeneicidad según el contenido proteico y las vesículas hijas 11,12 . El diagnóstico de certeza es encontrar escólex en la lesión resecada quirúrgica-mente, como es nuestro caso 1,14 y la punción-biopsia no debe realizarse por el riego de rotura, extensión y anafilaxia que se presenta hasta en un 20% de casos 3 .…”

“…Liver, spleen and lung are the most frequently involved organs [5,6]. Primary bone localization is rare and it accounts between 0.5% and 4% [7][8][9]. Spinal localization accounts for less than 1% of all hydatid disease [7].…”
