Clinical Image

Cyct Hydatic (CH) is a disease with an incidence of 1-150/100.000 [1]. Although CH can occur almost every organ in human body, it commonly presents itself in liver (60% - 80%) at adult age group. Lungs are the second most common localization where CH is spotted (10% - 30%) [2]. Moreover; CH can also very rarely appear in pleura, brain tissue, cardia, mediastinum, subcutan tissue and bone tissue [3]. Bone tissue incidence is reported to be between 0.9% - 2.5% [14]. After 29 year old male patient’s cyct hydatid is extracted from his musculus lattissimus dorsi, his other cyct which elongates to vertebral foramen is removed by the assitance of neuro surgeons (Figure 1 and 2). Vertebral fusion and cage procedures are performed for maintaining vertebral stability (Figure 3 and 4).
