Özet

Involvement of spine in patients with hydatid disease (HD) is less than 1 % and primary intra-spinal extradural HD is extremely rare. Although this disease is introduced as benign pathology according to its clinical presentation and biological behavior, intraoperative rupture of the cyst may aggravate the patients' outcome in the long-term especially in pediatric patient population.
