    This report details two cases of spinal cord compression caused by hydatid disease. It highlights key radiological features for diagnosing this rare condition affecting the spine and mediastinum.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Spinal cord compression is a serious condition requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment.
    • Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus tapeworms, can rarely affect the spine and spinal cord.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis and radiological manifestations is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • Two distinct cases of spinal cord compression due to hydatid disease are presented.
    • Case 1 involved hydatid disease of the C4 vertebra.
    • Case 2 featured a posterior mediastinal hydatid with an intraspinal extension.

    Findings:

    • The report reviews the relevant literature and pathogenesis of spinal hydatid disease.
    • Distinguishing radiological features of spinal cord compression secondary to hydatid disease are identified.

  • Imaging characteristics are crucial for differentiating hydatid disease from other spinal pathologies.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate radiological diagnosis is vital for appropriate surgical and medical management of spinal hydatid disease.
    • Early detection can prevent irreversible neurological damage.
    • This case series contributes to the understanding of rare spinal infections and their imaging findings.
