Hydatidosis is a zoonosis caused by  Echinococcus granulosus . Humans are accidentally contaminated by ingesting the parasite´s eggs mainly released through the faeces from infected dogs. Hydatidosis affects the bone in 0.5 to 2% of cases, with 44% of these cases involving in the spine. Vertebral hydatidosis is rare and it represents the most frequent and most dangerous form of bone involvement. This manifestation is extremely delicate, difficult to correctly identify and manage. The authors report two cases of vertebral hydatidosis revealed by medullar compression and increasing lumbar-radicular pain and functional impotence of lower limbs. Imaging showed multicystic bony lesions in lumbar spine. The extension into the spinal canal and to the perivertebral soft tissue were involved in both cases. We present those two cases to highlight the role of radiological exploration for diagnosis especially with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the importance of monitoring this dangerous pathology.
