Paravertebral Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report - Abstract
Abstract Hydatidosis is an anthropozoonosis caused by the development of cysts corresponding to the larval form of a taenia called Ecchinococcus granulosis. Bone hydatidosis is rare, accounting for only 0.9% to 2.5% of all cases. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman who was admitted to the Pneumology Department on hospital 20 Aout at Casablanca, Moroocco with symptoms consisting mainly of hemoptysis and hydatid vomiting. Lesion assessment revealed three left pulmonary cysts associated with a cystic formation in the left paravertebral gutters. Treatment was medico-surgical.
