Abstract :
Echinococcosis granulosus is the leading cause of spinal hydatid disease. Hydatidosis of the bone
happens in 0.5%-3% of all the cases: the involvement in the vertebral column is 50%. In the endemic
areas, one of the common causes of spinal cord compression is hydatid disease, and the diagnosis
may remain obscure until specifying symptoms ensuing from complications due to root and cord
compression. We present a case of recurrent spinal cords hydatid cyst in a 44 years old patient
because it occurs rarely, and anesthetic management in such cases has never evaluated before.
