Osteoarticular hydatid disease is a rare condition that is often diagnosed late due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging findings.
The study involved 10 patients with an average age of 40.5 years, and most presented with spinal issues, experiencing a diagnosis delay of about 11 months.
Treatment included surgery and postoperative albendazole therapy, but only one patient achieved total remission, highlighting the complexity of management for this disease.
