title: Extradural tumor causing spinal cord compression in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Myelopathy in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is uncommon but has been reported secondary to spinal vascular malformations.
  
  
  METHODS
  A patient with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome who presented with spinal cord compression from a spinal extradural mass lesion (angiomyolipoma) is described.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This association has not been reported previously but is consistent with the segmental vascular abnormalities observed in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome.
