    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Spinal echinococcosis is a rare parasitic infection.
    • Dorsal spinal cord compression can result from this condition.

    Observation:

    • A case of spinal echinococcosis causing dorsal spinal cord compression is presented.
    • Diagnostic imaging findings from plain radiography, polytomography, myelography, CT, and MR imaging are discussed.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) and MR imaging are complementary for diagnosing spinal echinococcosis.
    • MR imaging is the preferred modality for long-term follow-up in complicated spinal echinococcosis cases.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis and imaging selection are crucial for managing spinal echinococcosis.
    • MR imaging offers superior capabilities for monitoring treatment response and disease progression in complex scenarios.
