A case of infected intradural extramedullary hydatid cyst at foramen magnum with recurrent spinomedullary compression is described. The diagnosis was based on operation and histopathology. So far, no case of extraparenchymatous multiple cysts with cervicomedullary compression has been described in literature. Infection within an intact cyst is extremely rare.
