Description
Summary:Key Clinical Message Although quite rare, vertebral hydatidosis should always be considered as a differential diagnosis for spinal presentations, particularly in endemic areas for echinococcosis. In this paper, we report a rare case of asymptomatic multiple intradural, extramedullary spinal hydatidosis, incidentally diagnosed in a patient with signs and symptoms of a true protruded disc. Although quite rare, vertebral hydatidosis should always be considered as a differential diagnosis for spinal presentations, particularly in endemic areas for echinococcosis.
