Abstract
Hydatid cyst disease is a parasitic infection most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus and less likely by Echinococcus multilocularis with worse prognosis of latter one. Bone involvement is rarely seen and vertebral involvement is observed in nearly half of the cases. Lumbar site is rarely involved compared with thoracal and cervical vertebrae. In this study, we aimed to present primary vertebral hydatic cyst case involving lumbar vertebrae and to review radiological findings in the light of literature.
Özet
Kist hidatik hastalığı en sık olarak Echinococcus granulosus daha az ve kötü prognozlu olarak Echinococcus multilokülarisin neden olduğu parazitik bir enfeksiyondur. Kemik tutulumu nadirdir ve bu olguların yaklaşık yarısı vertebral tutulum şeklindedir. Vertebral tutulumda ise lomber yerleşim, torakal ve servikal vertebraya göre daha nadirdir. Bu çalışmamızda lomber vertebra yerleşimli primer vertebral kist hidatik olgusunu literatür bilgilerini gözden geçirerek sunmayı amaçladık.
