ABSTRACT
Vertebral haemangioma is a common asymptomatic lesion in adults. Spinal cord compression is rare, especially in children. We report an unusual case of T9 vertebral haemangioma with extradural extension revealed by a thoracic spinal cord compression in a 10-year-old boy with congenital heart disease. The tumour was studied with plain radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The occurrence of aggressive vertebral haemangiomas in paediatric age group is discussed
