Spinal hydatid disease, though rare, is one of the differential diagnosis of spinal cord compression syndrome especially in endemic areas. Surgery is the treatment of choice but surgery alone is not curative. Adjuvant drug therapy as well as intraoperative prophylaxis are indicated. Despite all measures, the disease has high recurrence rates and overall outcome is still poor. We report a case of 65 year old male with lumbosacral hydatidosis recurring after 13 years.
脊柱包虫病虽然罕见,但在脊髓压迫综合征的鉴别诊断中是其中之一,尤其是在流行地区。手术是首选的治疗方法,但仅靠手术不能治愈。需要辅助药物治疗以及术中预防措施。尽管采取了所有措施,该疾病的复发率仍然很高,总体预后仍然很差。我们报告一例65岁男性腰骶部包虫病患者,13年后复发。
