Clinical Radiology, 1985
Twenty cases of hydatid disease of bone revealed by X-ray examination are presented. The vertebrae were involved in 12 of the cases, the pelvis in four, both the vertebrae and the pelvis in one, the ribs in two and the femur in one. These cases constituted 1.3% of all cases of hydatid disease observed in our hospital during the period 1957-80.

Hydatid disease is still endemic in several regions worldwide and is caused in most cases by the larval form of two species of the tapeworm Echinococcus: E. granulosus and E. multilocularis. Bone involvement is rare (0.2-4%), affecting the spine in almost half of the cases. The disease is usually silent until a complication (e.g.

Osseous hydatidosis, especially when located in the rib, is a very rare disease. In 1978, only 39 costal echinococcosis cases were published. The course of the disease is generally slow and laboratory tests are frequently negative. Diagnosis is generally made through the combined assessment of clinical, radiologic, and laboratory data.

1. The radiological features of skeletal hydatid disease are discussed. Osseous lesions occur in about 1 to 2 per cent of cases, bone being involved only after the embryos have passed the filters provided firstly by the liver and secondly by the lungs. At first, ill defined areas of translucency appear which are not diagnostic.

SUMMARY Although hydatid disease of the liver and lungs is common in South Asia, involvement of the brain is relatively rare. Two cases of cerebral echinococcosis are presented. One case involved the brain, kidney, heart and spleen. The case is unusual because of the multiplicity of intracranial lesions and sparing of the liver and lungs.

Hydatid disease is common in many parts of the world (Deve, 1949; Heyat et al, 1971) and is endemic in Spain (De Diego et al, 1982). At least three species of Echinococcus infect people: cystic hydatid disease is caused by E. granulosus; alveolar hydatid disease is caused by E.

Hydatid disease is a zoonosis in which humans become the accidental host to the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, also known as the dog tapeworm. Occurring worldwide, the natural lifecycle of E. granulosus tapeworms consists of a canid definitive host for the adult tapeworm stage, and an herbivorous animal (sheep, in most cases) intermediate ...

The parasite Echinococcus multilocularis which causes alveolar hydatid disease is distinct in both larval form and host specificity from the more common E granulosus . Surgical treatment of E multilocularis infestation is usually impossible. The budding alveolar cysts infiltrate the liver diffusely rather than forming a solitary cyst as does E ...

SUMMARY Echinococcus granulosus infection was diagnosed in a mature macaque (Macaca mulatta). Necropsy findings included hydatid cysts in the lungs, liver, and peritoneal cavity, and liver cirrhosis. The cause of the liver cirrhosis could not be determined definitely, but it was believed that the toxic effect of hydatid fluid might have been involved.
