Successful Pelvic Resection for Acetabular Hydatidosis

Abstract

Background Hydatidosis of the bone is a rare occurrence (0.9 to 2.5% of all localization of the disease). In those occurrences, the pelvic bone is the second most frequent localization. Curative treatment of pelvic bone hydatidosis is difficult and a consensus is yet to be found. Clinical Case We report a case of hydatidosis of the ischium, extended to the homolateral hip. The patient was treated through hip resection using patient-specific cutting guides, followed by total hip reconstruction. Albendazole was administered to the patient for two months before the surgery and for three months following the surgery. Conclusions In a young patient, hydatidosis of the pelvic bone can be treated with satisfying results through wide resection of the hip coupled with an antiparasitic treatment administered before and after the surgery. Prosthetic reconstruction, similar to what is done in cancer surgery, restores good functions.

Progress of research on the diagnosis and treatment of bone cystic echinococcosis

“…Daniel et al reported a case of pelvic CE extending to the hip. After hip resection combined with total hip arthroplasty supplemented by perioperative medication, the patient had no signs of recurrence or sepsis at 1-year postoperative follow-up, but he required a walker as a mobility aid ( Daniel et al, 2017 ). As can be seen, the outcome of pelvic-joint infection is very serious.…”
