Vertebro-medullary and epidural hydatidosis are a very rare entity, representing 2% of all locations, and is even rarer when it involves a solitary location. It is often asymptomatic. The diagnosis is usually made during complications, particularly medullary compression or extension to the costal cage, which represents a therapeutic emergency. Surgical treatment must be radical to prevent recurrences. We report 2 cases: the first case was a 61-year-old female involved costo-vertebral hydatidosis, and the second was an 18-year-old man with primary sacral epidural location. The objective of our report is to add these 2 atypical locations of hydatid cysts to the existing literature and to present their radiological images to aid radiologists in diagnosis.
脊椎-髓内和硬膜外包虫病是一种非常罕见的疾病，占所有发病部位的2%，当它累及单一部位时更为罕见。它通常无症状。诊断通常在出现并发症时做出，特别是髓内压迫或向胸廓扩展，这是一种治疗急症。手术治疗必须彻底以防止复发。我们报告2例：第一例是一名61岁女性，患有肋-椎包虫病，第二例是一名18岁男性，原发性骶部硬膜外发病。我们报告的目的是将这2个包虫囊肿的非典型发病部位补充到现有文献中，并展示其放射影像以帮助放射科医生进行诊断。
