Echinococcosis is an endemic parasitic disease that affects mainly the liver and lungs. Exceptionally, there may be bone locations; the most common vertebro-medullary manifestation is bone hydatid disease. The evolution of this pathology is insidious; and the clinical manifestations are nonspecific. They are dominated by back pain and signs of spinal cord compression. We report the case of a 39-year-old patient, admitted for paraplegia, of progressive onset and insidious evolution over one year. Diagnosis was made with the aid of serology specific for hydatidosis, imaging, and confirmation on anatomopathology after surgical resection. The patient was put on albendazole after surgery.
Keywords: Cyst, Hydatidosis, Vertebro-medullary
