ABSTRACT

La hidatidosis es una enfermedad causada por el estado larval del platelminto Echinococcus, cuya especie más prevalente es Echinococcus granulosus. Se trata de un cuadro endémico en Eurasia, África, Australia y Sudamérica. En Chile, tiene una incidencia notificada de 2,1 casos por 100.000 habitantes y, pese a estar asociada a las zonas ganaderas del sur del país, se detecta en todo el territorio debido al desplazamiento de la población y a su largo período de incubación. Se caracteriza por la presencia de un quiste habitualmente en el hígado (75%) o los pulmones (15%). La afectación de otros sitios es menos frecuente y el compromiso óseo es raro, no supera el 1-2,5%, ya sea en el tejido trabecular o el canal medular. El tratamiento, en general, es médico-quirúrgico con resultados clínicos dispares debido a la alta tasa de recurrencias y las secuelas. La experiencia en el manejo de pacientes con hidatidosis intrarraquídea es limitada a causa de su baja frecuencia. Por este motivo, quisimos reportar dos casos atendidos en nuestro centro y analizar su manejo. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Hydatidosis is a disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus, the most prevalent species being Echinococcus granulosus. Hydatidosis is endemic to Eurasia, Africa, Australia and South America. In Chile, it has a reported incidence of 2.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and, although it is associated with the livestock areas of southern Chile, there have been reports throughout the territory due to the displacement of the population and its long incubation period. It is characterized by the presence of a cyst usually at the hepatic (75%) or pulmonary (15%) level. The involvement of other regions is less common and bone involvement is a rarity that does not exceed a 1-2.5% prevalence, either in the trabecular tissue or spinal canal. A combined medical and surgical approach is the most common treatment which involves disparate clinical outcomes due to the high rate of recurrences and sequelae. Experience in the management of patients with intraspinal hydatidosis is limited because of their low frequency. Therefore, we wanted to report 2 cases treated in our center and to analyze the progress in its management. Level of Evidence: IV
