Abstract

The hydatid bone cyst is very rare; it represents 2% for all locations combined. Vertebral involvement is often asymptomatic with an incidence of 40%; the diagnosis is made when complications arise related to the extension of the lesions inside towards the medullary canal or outside towards the rib grill. Surgery alone or in combination with medical treatment is essential whenever possible. Often emergency relief for neurological disorders; it must be carcinological in order to compensate for recurrences which are frequent. We report the observation of a 26-year-old young patient with a costovertebral hydatid cyst revealed by chest pain with paraparesis. The evolution was favorable after surgical excision associated with albendazol.
