Hydatid disease most frequently occurs in the liver. This article presents a case of spinal cord compression caused by vertebral hydatidosis with typical imaging characteristics and pathologic findings, which is rarely involved in the hydatidosis. The patient was successfully treated with surgical excision combined with antiparasitic therapy.
