Author(s): Lourdes de Fatima Ibanez Valdes and Humberto Foyaca Sibat*
Abstract
We report a 27-year-old lady with a 3-year history of signs and symptoms of progressive spastic paraparesis due to hydatid cyst at the level of T5. We comprehensively searched the most essential electronic databases following the PRISMA methodology and we found five similar reported cases responding dramatically well to the drug therapy with antiparasitic medication after the surgical approach without recurrence.
