Abstract
We present a case of primary hydatid disease of the sacrum. The diagno sis was made on MR imaging obtained to evaluate the spine for recurren t disc disease. The patient had previously undergone laminectomy elsew here for L4-5 radiculopathy. Ultrasound-guided aspiration and visualis ation of scolices confirmed the diagnosis. No other site of involvemen t was found.
