Abstract:
We describe a case of dumbbell hydatid cyst of the T(10) pedicle. This cyst had both extradural and retroperitoneal components,leading to spinal cord compression and abdominal pain. Following surgical excision and irrigation with hypertonic saline the patient made a full recovery, and is recurrence-free after 18 months follow-up.
