A rare case of hydatid disease of the lumbar extradural area and of the paravertebral muscles is reported. The patient underwent surgery, resulting in complete recovery. The limitations of computed tomography and the benefits of magnetic resonance imaging in forming a diagnosis are discussed. Magnetic resonance has been found to be an invaluable tool, not only in detecting the soft tissue extent of the disease but also in delineating the viability of hydatid cysts.
报告了一例罕见的腰椎硬膜外区域及椎旁肌肉包虫病病例。患者接受了手术，最终完全康复。文中讨论了计算机断层扫描的局限性以及磁共振成像在诊断中的优势。已发现磁共振不仅是检测该病软组织范围的重要工具，而且在描绘包虫囊肿的活性方面也具有重要价值。
