description Primary spinal hydatid disease is rare and represents an uncommon but significant manifestation of hydatid disease. We report a case of primary intraspinal extradural hydatid cyst of the thoracic region causing spinal cord compression.

The patient underwent surgery resulting in complete recovery and is recurrence-free after 24 months follow-up.
