Abstract
We present a case of primary hydatid disease of the sacrum. The diagnosis was made on MR imaging obtained to evaluate the spine for recurrent disc disease. The patient had previously undergone laminectomy elsewhere for L4-5 radiculopathy. Ultrasound-guided aspiration and visualisation of scolices confirmed the diagnosis. No other site of involvement was found.
