Pulmonary hydatidosis is a rare cause of spinal cord compression. We describe the case of a 49-years-old woman with cervical and dorsal pain, neurologic symptoms affecting upper extremities and a chest film showing a well defined mass in the upper right lobe. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pulmonary cyst destroying vertebral bodies and invading the spinal channel to cause spinal cord compression. Surgery and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary hydatidosis.
肺包虫病是脊髓压迫症的罕见病因。我们描述了一名49岁女性的病例，她有颈部和背部疼痛、影响上肢的神经症状，胸部X光片显示右上叶有一个边界清晰的肿块。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像显示一个肺囊肿破坏椎体并侵入椎管，导致脊髓受压。手术和组织病理学确诊为肺包虫病。
