Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis are the causes of hydatid disease and the main characteristic is endemic. Generally, it affects the liver and lungs. Spinal hydatidosis accounts for less than 1% of the cases. Vertebral hydatidosis is usually silent and a slowly progressive disease with a long latent period. Another rare form is the primary sacral hydatid cyst. Generally, patients suffer from back pain and neural compression symptoms. A 43-year woman was admitted with left leg pain and a fluid leakage from a cutaneous fistula on the left hip. It was diagnosed on MRI as a bilateral cystic lesion which eroded the first sacral wing, extending to the paravertebral region and left intervertebral for a men. We present a case with fluid leakage from cutaneous fistula.
