Süleyman Men, MD, Cüneyt Yücesoy, MD, Tahsin R. Edgüer, MD and Baki Hekimoglu, MD

1 From the Department of Radiology, SSK Ankara Hastanesi (Social Security Ankara Hospital), TR-06110 Diskapi Ankara, Turkey. Received September 11, 1998; revision requested November 3; revision received December 22; accepted February 15, 1999. Address reprint requests to S.M., Atayolu sokak No=7/5, TR-06450 Dikmen Ankara, Turkey.

A woman who had been operated on previously for a paraspinal hydatid cyst presented with claudication of the lower limbs. Computed tomographic and magnetic resonance images showed multiple cysts in the soft tissues of the back, retroperitoneum, and lumen of the aorta and iliac arteries. Occlusion of the aorta and iliac arteries by recurrent hydatid cysts after previous surgery was confirmed with angiography and subsequent surgical exploration. The authors present the imaging findings of this unusual manifestation of cystic echinococcosis.
