Description
Summary:Alveolar echinococcosis (also known as Hydatid cyst or Hydatydosis) is a zoonosis with a high degree of disability and morbidity. Bone echinococcosis is a rare presentation. Authors are always defending a personalized approach taking account of the particularities of the cyst location. Recognition of this syndrome is crucial because advances in medical and surgical management strategies have controlled and relieved symptoms in numerous cases. We report, hereby, a case of a patient with a thoracic spine alveolar echinococcosis of an unusual extension. We discussed the outcome of the treatment after fifteen years of follow-up.
