A case is presented of cord compression due to vertebral echinococcosis which relapsed after a first laminectomy elsewhere. The authors carried out a second excision with decompression from the anterior approach, supplemented by grafting. After a period of recovery and well being, relapse occurred with renewal of the cord compression. A second decompressive laminectomy and excision of the relapsed cyst was carried out. The present case illustrates the limitations of surgery in this parasitology, because of the extreme liability to relapses.
本文报告一例因椎体棘球蚴病导致脊髓受压的病例，该病例在其他地方首次行椎板切除术后复发。作者采用前路入路进行了第二次切除减压，并辅以植骨。经过一段时间的恢复和良好状态后，复发并再次出现脊髓受压。于是进行了第二次减压性椎板切除术并切除复发囊肿。本病例说明了在这种寄生虫病中手术的局限性，因为极易复发。
