[Vertebral hydatidosis: medical imaging and management. A case report].
Vertebral hydatidosis (VH) is uncommon. It is the most frequent skeletal manifestation of echinococcosis. It is also the most serious one. We report a case of VH revealed by a kyphoscoliosis with dorsal pain and point out the contibution of new medical imagings in the diagnosis of VH and in the patient follow-up. We stress on the difficulties of the care management of this disease and its poor prognosis because of the risk of neurological damages and frequent recurrences.
