Primary muscle hydatidosis is very rare. Rupture and spreading of the cyst contents by improper handling may later cause secondary cyst or allergic reactions. Pre-operative recognition of a hydatid cyst is therefore critical. It often presents as a soft-tissue mass, however, and pre-operative recognition of this rare entity is clearly difficult. Here, a case of primary hydatidosis affecting the gracilis muscle is presented, and the magnetic resonance imaging, clinical and pathological findings are described.

Background: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) usually presents with lower extremity symptoms and signs, but rarely with bladder and bowel complaints. Here, we present a 61-year-old female who suffered solely from fecal incontinence (FI) attributed to a large LDH. Case Description: The patient presented with FI, but had a normal neurological examination. When the lumbar magnetic resonance imaging of showed a large central L5S1 LDH, the patient underwent an urgent diskectomy. Six months later, her symptoms had improved. Conclusion: Patients with large central LDHs may present with FI alone warranting urgent/emergent disc removal.

Visualization of the rectum, rectoanal junction and adjacent structures is very demanding and challenging both with technical and medical side. Local staging of rectal and anal tumor and perianal neoplasm by conventional and sibgle slice CT or by barium enema study is not so valuable. These methods can not visualize fistulous communication in inflamatory bowel diseases and have not any role in evaluation of fecal incontinence. During last decade, endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging have been recognized as methods of choice in establishing diagnosis of rectal, perirectal, anal and perianal diseases. The aim of this article is to review the possibilities of endoanal ultrasound in evaluation of fecal incontinence.
