Intradural extramedullary primary hydatid cyst of the spine in a child: a very rare presentation.

摘要

Primary intradural extramedullary hydatid cyst is a rare form of parasitic infection, causing focal neurological signs, commonly observed in sheep-raising areas of the world, including Turkey [2, 3, 4, 6]. In their article that has passed peer review, Drs. Arif and Zaheer, pathologists, heighten our awareness about this uncommon but clinically challenging disease [1]. The authors nicely presented the radiological findings and surgical features of their case in detail, in addition to the pathological characteristics of the hydatid cyst. However, I would like to add the following important points regarding imaging features of the spinal hydatidosis to the discussion.
