Spinal hydatid disease: a case report - an uncommon differential diagnosis in LMICs.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery Clinic, Birgunj, Nepal.
Article Synopsis
- Spinal hydatid disease is a rare condition, occurring in only 0.2-1% of cases, mainly in regions where it is common, and should be considered in spinal cord compression diagnoses.
- The case involved a 52-year-old man with symptoms like lower extremity pain, trouble urinating, and back issues, who was treated with antiparasitic therapy and underwent two surgeries with no bacteria found post-treatment.
- Early detection and proper treatment are essential due to the rarity of the disease, emphasizing its importance in differential diagnosis for spinal issues.
A rare case of recurrent spinal hydatid cyst in a 17-year-old man with neurological deficits and balance impairment.

Background: Hydatid cysts are caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm parasite Echinococcus granulosus, leading to a rare but significant zoonotic infection. This disease is primarily observed in regions with prevalent agricultural and livestock practices. While the liver, lungs, and brain are most affected, spinal involvement is notably rare.

Spinal hydatid disease is a rare form of hydatid disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. It refers to a range of conditions that affect the spinal cord, the spine, or both. The prevalence of spinal hydatid disease is highest in the thoracic spine; however, it can also occur in other regions of the spine.

Article Synopsis
- Spinal echinococcosis is a serious disease caused by a parasite, but there are no effective treatments available right now.
- Scientists discovered that a natural compound called agrimol B can help fight this parasite by affecting its energy and metabolism.
- They found that by reducing a substance called arginine, they could create changes that harm the parasite and help in treating the disease better than the current medicine.
A Rare Case of Primary Posterior Abdominal Wall Muscle Hydatid Cyst With Thoracolumbar Spinal Extension.
Cureus

Primary intramuscular hydatid cysts are uncommon due to the contractile nature of muscles and their lactic acid content. Hydatid cysts with spinal extension are sometimes seen with primary vertebral body involvement. Our patient presented with a slow-growing posterior abdominal wall mass, and upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it was revealed to be several cystic lesions in the abdomen wall with extension through the neural foramina into the spinal canal.
