Sacral hydatid cyst: illustrative case

Because of its invasive nature and high recurrence rate, early diagnosis, antiparasitic therapy, and surgical intervention are essential. Proper follow-up is necessary to prevent complications, particularly in atypical presentations. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25109.
