Figure 1
A: Osteolysis of the L5 vertebral body (black arrows), spondylolisthesis and displacement of the intervertebral device (yellow arrow). B: Multiple perivertebral hydatid cysts (yellow arrow head). C: Removal of hydatid cysts by instillation of hypertonic saline. D: Macroscopic aspect of hydatid cyst removed during spinal surgery

Figure 2
A: hematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E, x 400). Example of the layers of the hydatid cyst, with intermingled fibrinohaematic tissue. On the right, the middle lamellar layer is identified and, loosely, disintegrated strips of the inner layer. B: 4x H&E stain. Histological section showing fragment nucleate germinal layer from which the brood capsule arises with proliferative vesicles artifacted by diathermy. C and D: multiple protoscoleces and hooklets consistent with the E. granulosus cestode were observed in saline wet amount from the clinical specimens
