Vertebral and epidural hemangioma with paraplegia in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome

Abstract
A patient with a rare case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome presented with paraplegia due to compression by a vertebral and epidural cavernous hemangioma. The metameric distribution of the large cutaneous vascular nevus provided the clinical clue to the nature of the spinal lesion. The association of the 2 lesions is explained on the basis of developmental anomaly.
