Abstract
Background:
Myelopathy in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is uncommon but has been reported secondary to spinal vascular malformations.
Report:
A patient with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome who presented with spinal cord compression from a spinal extradural mass lesion (angiomyolipoma) is described.
Discussion:
This association has not been reported previously but is consistent with the segmental vascular abnormalities observed in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome.
