Hydatid disease of the spine in South African children. | ||
Ndondo AP, Fieggen G, Wilmshurst JM. J Child Neurol. 2003;18(5):343-6. |

Treatment of progressive cervical spinal instability secondary to hydatid disease. A case report. | ||
Keller TM, Schweitzer JS, Helfend LK, Chappell T. Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 1997;22(8):915-9. |
||
It is hoped that this case presentation will justify a spirit of guarded optimism in the patient whose spine has been rendered unstable by hydatid disease and that, though a cure is still not likely, at least the past inexorable prognosis of paralysis and death is ameliorated. |
