title: [A rare manifestation of Echinococcus cysticus in CT and magnetic resonance tomography].
abstract: A case of primary spinal echinococcus with bone destruction is presented and the findings in CT and MR imaging are discussed. Although CT and MRI are complementary studies for the diagnosis of the spinal echinococcosis, MRI is the study of choice for prolonged follow-up of complicated cases.
