Hydatid disease is the most common human disease caused by helminths, but primary skeletal involvement is uncommon. Diagnosis is usually obtained late after considerable extension, half of which concerns the spine. The dissemination mode leads to local malignancy with severe prognosis. Medical imaging is essential. Plain x-ray findings are polymorphous and nonspecific, but computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are particularly useful for exhaustive pretherapeutic assessment of extension and for patient follow-up.
包虫病是由蠕虫引起的最常见的人类疾病，但原发性骨骼受累并不常见。诊断通常在病情显著进展后才得以确立，其中一半涉及脊柱。传播方式导致局部恶性病变，预后严重。医学影像学至关重要。普通X线表现多样且不具特异性，但计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像对于全面的治疗前扩展评估及患者随访尤为有用。
