Patients underwent cervical, thoracic, or lumbar MR/CT studies to document the location and extent of their spinal hydatidosis. Most lesions involved the lumbar (48.7%), followed by the thoracic (43.6%) and cervical spine (7.7%). Typically, on MR, lesions consisted of multiloculated cysts extending into epidural soft tissues, while on CT scans, they presented with vertebral lysis and/or erosive bony defects. Cyst locations were most frequently type 3 (i.e., intraspinal extradural hydatid cyst in 66.7% of cases) [Table 1].
