“…Intradural cysts are approached posteriorly via laminectomy followed by durotomy. The complete resection of the cysts without rupture is considered curative and feasible in most cases, even in the presence of adhesions to surrounding tissue [10]–[14]. In some cases the excision of dura tissue together with the adherent cyst might be necessary [12].…”

Bone involvement in human cystic echinococcosis (CE) is rare, but affects the spine in approximately 50% of cases. Despite significant advances in diagnostic imaging techniques, surgical treatment and introduction of pharmacological therapy, spinal echinococcosis remains associated with a high degree of morbidity, disability and mortality.We systematically reviewed the published literature of the last five decades to update and summarize the currently existing data on treatment, follow-up and outcome of spinal CE.

“…23) MR imaging is considered the gold standard imaging modality. 2,12,25) MR imaging appearances of noninfiltrating spinal angiolipomas are hyperintensity and often inhomogeneous intensity on T 1 -weighted images. The degree of central hypointensity on T 1 -weighted images is predictive of the degree of vascularity.…”

A 69-year-old male presented with a rare spinal angiolipoma manifesting as history of back pain, and numbness in both lower limbs, which progressed over a period of 5 years. Total T10-T12 laminectomy was performed and the tumor was removed en bloc. The symptoms gradually improved postoperatively. Spinal angiolipoma is an uncommon benign extradural tumor of spine, which accounts for 0.14-1.2% of all spinal tumors and is a rare cause of spinal cord compression. Recognition of this entity is crucial as a benign and curable cause of paraplegia and back pain.

“…For this reason the high recurrence rate (30–40%) is still a major problem in management 2. Surgical excision after decompressive laminectomy and additional medical treatment is still the critical mainstay and most effective treatment 6 7. The present case of intraspinal hydatid cyst classified as a combination of intraspinal extradural, vertebral and paravertebral forms according to the Braithwaite and Lees’ classification.…”

Intraspinal hydatidosis with retroperitoneal extension: an uncommon location

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SUMMARYHydatidosis is a ubiquitous disease that is endemic in India. It most commonly involves the liver (75%) and lungs (15%) with only 10% occuring in the rest of the body. Primary hydatid cyst in the spinal canal is extremely rare. Intraspinal hydatid accounts for 0.5-1% of the cases and carries a poor prognosis. It presents as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We present one such case of a 64-year-old man with associated radiculopathy and myelomalcia. BACKGROUND

Spinal Intradural Extramedullary Hydatidosis

Abstract: This localization is rare and serious, but its prognosis is excellent if diagnosis is made early enough and surgery is performed in time to prevent cyst rupture.
