Spinal cord compression syndrome caused by vertebral medullary hydatidosis is a rare but serious condition requiring precise diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This article examines the crucial role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in characterizing lesions, assessing their extent, and monitoring postoperative outcomes in patients with this pathology. With a focus on vertebral medullary surgery, the authors explore the challenges associated with this condition, including the complexity of surgical management and the high risk of recurrence. A better understanding of this pathology and the adoption of early preventive strategies are essential to improve clinical outcomes in patients with this syndrome.
