Diagnostic and Surgical Challenges of a Lumbar Extradural Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report and Review of Literatures
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2024, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Spinal hydatid cysts, though uncommon, are a serious condition. An 14-year-old boy experienced back pain, increasing weakness, and numbness in his legs. Lumbar region MRI revealed a cystic lesion with a regular outline in the extradural space, exhibiting T1-weighted images showed a lesion that was hypointense, while T2-weighting images displayed hyperintense. The lesion severely compressed the dural sac and caudal roots, extending into the L3 and L4 neural foramina. The condition was addressed through an L3 laminectomy and completely removing the hydatid cyst. This report discusses the clinical symptoms, diagnostic process, and surgical treatment of this rare spinal hydatid disease case, along with a review of all documented primary extradural hydatid cyst cases in the literature.
