Vertebral hydatid disease: radiological assessment.

Abstract: 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.

“…If the worm is not lodged in liver or lungs, it may be trapped virtually anywhere in the body, such as peritoneum, spleen, kidney, heart, brain, spine, bony skeleton and muscles. Not every larva develops, over 90% are eliminated by the host reaction [4,5,19].…”

“…Vertebral hydatid cyst infection has been classified according to the anatomical location of the hydatid infection into five subgroups: (1) intramedullary hydatid cyst; (2) intraduralextramedullary hydatid cyst; (3) extradural intraspinal hydatid cyst; (4) vertebral hydatid cyst; and (5) paravertebral hydatid cyst [5]. However, as the authors mentioned, there is no pathognomonic clinical picture of the disease [1].…”

“…Vertebral hydatid cyst infection has typically an invasive nature, and the removal of all the cysts cannot be achieved without perforating the cyst wall in the majority of cases [3,5,9,12]. Recently, successful treatment of hydatid disease with albendazole (ALB) for at least 1 year has been reported [3,6,7].…”
