摘要

Hydatid disease is caused by the larval form of Echinococcus. Lung and liver are the most commonly affected sites. Primary intradural extramedullary hydatid disease is extremely rare; a 13-year-old girl with primary intradural hydatid cyst who presented with symptoms of paraparesis is discussed in this article.
