Abstract

Primary pelvic hydatid cyst rarely causes pressure on the lumbosacral plexus. This was a case of hydatid cyst in the pelvis causing sciatica and foot drop, and it indicates the pelvis as a hidden source of sciatica and foot drop. After surgical excision followed by 4 months' mebendazole therapy, there was no evidence of recurrence on long-term follow-up.
