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. In this case report, we present an unusual occurrence of numerous hydatid cysts in a 42-year-old male living in a remote region. The patient has been experiencing a progressive loss of power in his lower limbs, urine incontinence, and back pain for the past four months. The patient was found to have many distinct cystic lesions with spinal cord compression syndrome. Spinal hydatidosis is an uncommon illness that causes significant suffering and has a bleak outlook. When evaluating a patient with spinal compression syndrome, it is important to evaluate this as one of the potential causes.
脊柱包虫病是由细粒棘球绦虫幼虫阶段引起的一种罕见的包虫病形式。它指的是一系列影响脊髓、脊柱或两者的病症。脊柱包虫病在胸椎的患病率最高；然而，它也可发生在脊柱的其他部位。在本病例报告中，我们呈现了一名居住在偏远地区的42岁男性身上出现大量包虫囊肿的不寻常情况。在过去四个月里，该患者一直经历着下肢进行性无力、尿失禁和背痛。该患者被发现有许多明显的囊性病变并伴有脊髓压迫综合征。脊柱包虫病是一种罕见疾病，会造成巨大痛苦且预后不佳。在评估患有脊髓压迫综合征的患者时，将其作为潜在病因之一进行评估很重要。
