Abstract
A report of a rare case of the spinal hydatidosis in a child is presented. Spinal hydatidosis with a total spinal instability caused by the natural history of the disease and inadequate surgical treatment was diagnosed in a 10 year-old girl. At the department the excision of paravertebral and prevertebral hydatid cavernous masses followed by anterior L1–L5 reconstruction and posterior spinal CD-instrumentation was performed. Early post-op results are satisfactory, supporting ability of the spine is restored, that allowed physical and social rehabilitation of the child. Diagnostic pitfalls are identified and discussed.
