Abstrakt:	Echinococcus granulosus infection is the primary cause of spinal hydatidosis. We describe the case of a 22-year-old man from the Brazilian Amazon region with crural spastic paraparesis and back pain. Radiological examinations showed multilocular lesions involving compression of the thoracic spine and rib injury. The patient underwent vertebrectomy with spinal stabilization and thoracoplasty with resectioning of the costal arch. Subsequently, the patient was prescribed oral treatment with albendazole. Marked recovery of the neurological status was achieved. Bone hydatid disease is rare, accounting for 0.5%-0.4% of all hydatid cysts, affecting the spine in 50% of cases. The treatment of choice is surgery accompanied by antiparasitic medication. (© 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of University of Washington.)
